F#m                           A             B
What are the symptoms of our happiness and Civil War?
F#m                  A        B
Mano y mano in the stereo without a cure
F#m                        A
I've got a fever, a non-believer,
          B
and it's killing me
F#m                                 A
Like a high school loser that will never,
                  B
ever, ever, ever fuck the prom queen

Chorus:
A               D
I got the shakes and I'm on fire
A              D
I got a feeling and it's dangerous
A              D
I'm gonna dance to something wild
A              D
I got a feeling and I need a rush
C#m                             F#m   E      D
All hell is breaking loose and heaven only knows
A               D
I don't wanna be a Romeo
A               D
I don't wanna be a Romeo
A               D
I don't wanna be a Romeo, no

I'm hearing voices up inside my head
(Oh, what you thinkin'?)
I need a sugar fix, it's making me sick
(Oh, what you drinkin'?)
I wanna drink all the poison in the water
I wanna choke like a dog that's on a collar
I am the child of coyote and bandito
I'm drinking whiskey by the river doing yayo

Chorus
