D
You got yourself a bunch of bad habits
                                     Bm
Not hard to see that love is a weakness
Seems to me, the way you understand it
                                       D
Is that you're never gonna make it happen
D
I get smoke in my eyes every time I try
To look you in the eye
     Bm
Do I even know what your face looks like
Or just the cloud of smoke in it's place?
          A
I'm trying to tell you something you
                  G  D
might've heard before

You got a dollar in your pocket
You got a pebble in your sock and
You've got a mind of gold you keep secret
I gotta hope that one day you'll use it
I get tongue-tied every time I try
To tell you what I think is right
'Cause I think it's wrong when you sit around
Looking like a toy in the lost and found
I am telling you something you might've heard before
And forgot on the spot

Bm      A       G
Ooooooh ooohh-oooooh
Bm      A       D
Ooooooh ooohh-oooooh

Chorus:
         Bm      A   G   D       Bm
You're a strange torpedo on the loose
Bm     A    G   D       Bm
Strange torpedo on the loose
Bm     A    G   D       Bm
Strange torpedo on the loose
                   A                       D
And I'll play the fool, and I'll play the fool

I see the blood rushing to your head
Your words are slurred and your cheeks are red
You'd do anything to stop pretending
Can't have regrets if you can't remember them
You are one of a kind, I cannot lie
You're wild when your body's in overdrive
And I'm more surprised every time you're alive
When I check for your breath in the morning

Chorus

Ooooooh ooohh-oooooh
Ooooooh ooohh-oooooh

Bm               A
I thought you'd hit rock bottom
D                     G                     Bm
But I'm starting to think that it doesn't exist
                   A                 D
Cause you've been falling for so long
                    G                 Bm A D G
And you haven't hit anything solid yet

I thought you'd hit rock bottom
But I'm starting to think that it doesn't exist
'Cause you've been falling for so long
And you haven't hit anything solid yet

Ooooooh ooohh-oooooh

Chorus:
You're a strange torpedo on the loose
Strange torpedo on the loose
Strange torpedo on the loose
Strange torpedo on the loose
Strange torpedo on the loose
Strange torpedo on the loose
And I'll play the fool,
and I'll play the fool, and I'll play the fool
