Billy Joel - I Go to Extremes: chords

C
Call me a joker, call me a fool.
Right at this moment I'm totally cool.
  C          C/E       F
Clear as a crystal, sharp as a knife.
                         C
I feel like I'm in the prime of my life.

A#                         F/A
Sometimes it feels like I'm going to fast
C/G                         D7/F#
I don't know how long this feeling will last.
C/G        G       C
Maybe it's only tonight.

Chorus:
           A#
Darling I  don't know why
F/A         G   C Csus4
I go to extremes.
            A#             F/A     G  C  Csus4
Too high or too low there ain't no in betweens.
          A#6        A7   Dm             Dm/E    Fm
And if I stand or I fall, it's all or nothing at all
        A#              F/A      G   C  Csus4
Darling I don't know why I go to extremes.

Sometimes I'm tired, sometimes I'm shot
Sometimes I don't know
How much more I've got
Maybe I'm headed over the hill
Maybe I've set myself up for the kill
Tell me how much
Do you think you can take
Until the heart in you
Is starting to break?
Sometimes it feels like it will

Chorus:
Darling, I don't know
Why I go to extremes
Too high or too low
There ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling, I don't know
Why I go to extremes

D                  A#
Out of the darkness, into the light,
 F                         C
leaving the scene of the crime.
D                       A#                     F
Either I'm wrong or I'm perfectly right every time.
 Am                    F
Sometimes I lie awake night after night,
 C
coming apart at the
 G
seams.
 D                A#              F
Eager to please, ready to fight why do
            C
I go to extremes.

Chorus:
And if I stand or I fall
It's all or nothing at all
Darling, I don't know
Why I go to extremes
Oh, I don't know
Why I go to extremes
Too high or too low
There ain't no in-betweens
You can be sure when I'm gone
I won't be out there too long
Darling, I don't know
Why I go to extremes

I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
Out of the dark, into the lights
Either I'm wrong
Or I'm perfectly right
I don't know why
