A#                          F 
I guess I went a little crazy
Gm               D#
I was out of my depth
A#            F                       Gm  D#
Felt intimidated, couldn't catch my breath
A#                       F 
I had to say the big goodbye
Gm                D#
'Cause I wanna go home
A#                        F 
The only soul you could save these days is your
Gm
own

Chorus:
Cm   F            A#
Oh, say, can you see?
                             F 
(Everybody's gone a little crazy)
              Gm                        D#
The tunnel of light (Everybody's got an old soul)
          A#                F               Gm F
A band of angels that you seek when you're alive
          A#                               F 
Oh, look away (Everybody's gone a little crazy)
             Gm                            D#
Something I have to do (Everybody's got an old soul)
            A#       F                 Gm F
Please don't follow me, I'll wait for you

I live through the lies that kill me inside
One day, I'll meet them all when they decide
You know when I'm there (You know when I'm there)
I'll be the rash on your skin
Right there by your side when the
rage sets in oh, oh

Chorus

A#                               F 
Everybody knows that there's a ghost in my machine
Gm                              D#             A#
I've been standin' round yellin', "Cut the feed!"
 F                        Gm
Kinda of sweet how it feels when it's
               D#
goin' down down, down, yeah
A#                        F 
When the rollin' of the thunder stops
Gm                         D#
I'll be your microphone into your heart
A#                 F        Gm
Here they come now, I'm fadin' away
       Cm            D#
'Way, 'way, 'way, 'way
        F
Fadin' away

Chorus:
Oh, can you see? (Everybody's gone a little crazy)
The tunnel of light (Everybody's got an old soul)
A band of angels that you seek when you're alive

Oh, look away (Everybody's gone a little crazy)
There's something I have to do
(Everybody's got an old soul)
Please don't follow me, I'll wait for you

(Everybody's gone a little crazy)
(Everybody's got an old soul)
There's a ghost in my machine
