[Verse]
A                                    G
I can't seem to face up to the facts
A                                       G
I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax
A                                     G
I can't sleep 'cause my bed's on fire
A                                   G
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire

[Chorus]
F                G                   A
  Psycho killer,   qu'est que c'est, fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
F             G                 C                F
  Run run run run run run run a-way, ohhhh ohhhh oooh
F                G                   A
  Psycho killer,   qu'est que c'est, fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
F             G                 C                F    G         A     G A    G
  Run run run run run run run a-way, ohhhh ohhhh oooh aaye aaye ooh

[Verse]
A                                                 G
You start a conversation you can't even finish it
A                                                   G
You're talking a lot, but you're not sayin anything
A                                              G
When I have nothing to say, my lips are sealed
A                                     G
Say something once, why say it again?

[Chorus]
F                G                   A
  Psycho killer,   qu'est que c'est, fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
F             G                 C                F
  Run run run run run run run a-way, ohhhh ohhhh oooh
F                G                   A
  Psycho killer,   qu'est que c'est, fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa fa far better
F             G                 C                F    G
  Run run run run run run run a-way, ohhhh ohhhh oooh aye aye aye aye aye

Bm                        G   Bm                           G
Ce que j'ai fais, ce soir la,   ce qu' elle a dit, ce soir la
A                     G                              A    G
Realisant mon espoir,   je me lance vers la gloire o-kay
A                                                           G
