Last thing I remember, I was running for the door

I had to find the passage back to place I was before

intro: a (4x)
a
friday night i crashed your party,
saturday i said i’m sorry
e
sunday came and trashed me out again.
bm
i was only having fun,
g
wasn’t hurting anyone
e
and we all enjoyed the
a intro (2x)
weekend for a change.
i’ve been stranded
in the combat zone,
i walked through bedford sty alone
even rode my motorcycle in the rain.
and you told me not to drive,
but i made it home alive
so you said that only proves that i’m insane.
chorus:
e
you may be right,
a
i may be crazy
e d
but it just may be a lunatic
f#m a
you’re looking for
e
turn out the light,
a
don’t try to save me
d e
you may be wrong for all i know,
a intro (4x)
but you may be right.
remember how i found you there,
alone in your electric chair
i told you dirty jokes until you smiled.
you were lonely for a man,
i said take me as i am
cause you might enjoy
some madness for a while.
now think of all the years you tried
to find some one to satisfy you
i might be as crazy as you say.
if i’m crazy then it’s true,
that it’s all because of you
and you wouldn’t want me any other way.
chorus

==================
IN TRANCE
Scorpions
I [Am]wake up in the morning
and the [G]sun begins to shine
[F]the day did sneak up from the [E]night
I [Am]see your face and I see myself
and I [G]get a little taste of life
[F]I try to stand it for a [E]while
chorus:
But I’m in [Am]trance
Hey baby [C]tell me can’t you hear me [G]calling
I’m in [Am]trance
I take too [C]much of the Saturday [G]night
Hey… Hey…[Am]Hey
Hey baby [C]tell me can’t you hear me [G]calling
I’m in [Am]trance
I wanna [C]try to stop this [G]life
I feel so sad I’m feeling down
On the radio the music plays
I’m in love with her and I revive
I close my eyes
I think today is getting better with a sip of wine
and I can stand it for a while
But I’m in trance
Hey baby tell me can’t you hear me calling
I’m in trance
I take too much of the Saturday night
Hey… Hey
Hey baby tell me can’t you hear me calling
I’m in trance
I wanna try to stop this life
