D#         C#               G#
My mother told me I should go and get some therapy
D#          C#                G#
I asked the doctor, "can you find out what is wrong with me?"
D#            C#          G#
I don't know why I wanna be with every girl I meet
D#          C#                G#
I can't control it, yeah, I know it's taking over me

    Cm
I'm going crazy, can't contain it,
    G#
so tell me just what I should do

Chorus:
           D#           C#             G#             D#
She said, "hey, it's alright, does it make you feel alive?
           D#               C#        G#                  D#
Don't look back, live your life, even if it's only for tonight"
           D#          C#           G#
She said, "hey, it's alright if it makes you feel alive"

Went to a party, just after the doctor talked to me
I met a girl, I took her hand up to the balcony
I whispered something in her ear that I just can't repeat
She said "Okay", but she was worried what her friends will think

She's going crazy, can't contain it,
she asked me, "what should I do?"

Chorus

G#                Cm         A#
We got to live before we get older
G#
Do what we like
        Cm         A#
We got nothing to lose
G#                           Cm              A#
Shake off the weight of the world from your shoulders
G#         Cm          A#
Ooh we got nothing to prove

I said, "hey, it's alright, does it make you feel alive?
Don't look back, live your life, even if it's only for tonight"
