E                     A
Lights go down, it's dark
                    E
The jungle is your head,
                 A
Can't rule your heart
A feeling's so much
   E              A
Stronger than a thought
Your eyes are wide
                 E
and though your soul,
             A
it can't be bought,
your mind can wander

Chorus:
E          D
Hello, hello (hola!)
G                      A
I'm at a place called Vertigo
(dónde está!)
E                         D
It's everything I wish I didn't know
        G            A
Except you, give me something
       E  A  E  A
I can feel, feel!

The night is full of holes
'Cause bullets rip the sky
of ink with gold
They twinkle as the boys
play rock and roll
They know that they can't dance,
at least they know
I can't stand the beat,
I'm asking for the check
Girl with crimson nails has
Jesus around her neck
Swinging to the music,
swinging to the music

Chorus

G D A
      Checkmate
G D A
      Jazz funk
G D A
      Show made it in, yeah

E
All of this, all of this can be yours
A
All of this, all of this can be yours
E
All of this, all of this can be yours
A
Just give me what I want and no one gets hurt

Chorus:
E          D
Hello, hello (hola!)
G                      A
I'm at a place called Vertigo
(dónde está!)
E                         D
It's everything I wish I didn't know
        G            A
Except you, give me something
       E              D           G   A
I can feel your love teaching me how-ww
E             D           G   A
Your love is teaching me how-ww
         E  A  E   A
How to kneel Kneel!
E
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
A
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
E
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
A                     E
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
