[Intro]

[Verse 1]
E5                             A5             E5
Lights go down, it's dark, the jungle is your head
                         A5              E5
Can't rule your heart, a feeling so much stron-
                     A5                                 E5
-ger than a thought, your eyes are wide and though your soul
                    A5
It can't be bought, your mind can wander
 
 
[Chorus]
E             D
Hello, hello! (Hola!)
G5                    A5
I'm at a place called Vertigo (donde estas)
E                           D
It's everything I wish I didn't know
       G5              A5
Except you give me something
      D5 E5   D5 E5   D5 E5   A5      G#5 G5
I can feel
D5 E5   D5 E5   D5 E5   A5      G#5 G5
Feel
 
 
[Verse 2]
E5                         A5                 E5
The night is full of holes as bullets rip the sky
                  A5                  E5
Of ink with gold, they twinkle as the boys
                    A5                        E5
Play rock and roll, they know that they can't dance
                  A5
At least they know
