Now here are the lyrics. Listen to the song and play the various
riffs at the right parts in the song.
You make me dizzy running circles in my head
One of these days I'll chase you down
Well look who's going crazy now we're face to face my friend
Try to get out, Try to get out
(Chorus)
You know you make me breakout, make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that, I don't wanna look like that
You know you make me breakout, make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that, I don't wanna look like that
You know you make me break...
I can see it's in your face it's all for you
The more and more see, can't break quite through
Yeah theropy still scares me putting me on my back again
I may be crazy, little frayed around the ends
One of these days I'll phase you out
Burning in the blast off, Burning in the blast off
Watch me crawl away
Better get out, Better get out
(Chorus)
You know you make me breakout, make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that, I don't wanna look like that
You know you make me breakout, make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that, I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that
BREAKOUT, BREAKOUT, BREAKOUT, BREAKOUT, GO GO GO
(Chorus)
You know you make me breakout, make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that, I don't wanna look like that
You know you make me breakout, make me breakout
I don't wanna look like that, I don't wanna look like that
I don't wanna look like that, I don't wanna look like that
You know you make me breakout, make me breakout
