C#
Dementia, youre driving me crazy
                        F#
This is driving me crazy
             G#
Dementia, dementia

C#                                G#
Every light in the night flicker in and out
F#                             C#/F
Every bone in my back shivered up and down
C#                    A#m           G#    F#
Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies
             G#
Cos this is driving me crazy

Every voice in my head shouted yes and no
Every freight train of thought fought to stop and go
Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies
'Cause this is driving me crazy

Chorus:
C#           C#/F    F#          G#
Big surprise, Im a ghost keeping out of sight
A#m              G#/F    F#          G#
Love your eyes, youre a star in the summer night
C#            C#/F    F#          G#
This is love, this is war, its insanity
A#m        G#     F#         G#  C#
Dementia, you’re driving me crazy

C#
Dementia, youre driving me crazy
                        F# G#
This is driving me crazy

Every tear in my eyes dripped and wouldn't drop
Every disc in my spine shook and couldn't stop
Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies
'Cause this is driving me crazy
Every hand let me go that I tried to hold
Every warm-hearted love left me freezing cold
Keep the pace just in case all the magic dies
'Cause this is driving me crazy

Chorus

(Dementia, you're driving me crazy)
(Dementia, you're driving me crazy)
This is driving me crazy
('Cause you're driving me crazy)
'Cause this is driving me crazy
(Oh, dementia)

Chorus:
Big surprise, I'm a ghost keeping out of sight
Rub your eyes, you're a star in a summer night
This is love, this is war, it's insanity
Dementia, oh, dementia
Through the skies you're en route at
the speed of light
So realize there's chaos in the air tonight
This is love, this is war, this is pure insanity
Dementia, you're driving me crazy

This is driving me crazy
Oh, dementia, you're driving me crazy
'Cause this is driving me crazy
Dementia, you're driving me crazy
(This is driving me crazy)
(This is driving me crazy)
(This is driving me crazy)
(Dementia, oh, dementia)
