I waved hello to the crowd

Oh-oh, Oh! Oh-oh, Oh! Oh-oh, Oh!
G
They're watching me, watching me fall
D
Maybe it was the rush of adrenaline
A/C#
as the concrete rose to meet my face
Bm
Maybe it was the sheer embarrassment
G
that kept me conscious and standing as I
D
crawled back on the stage
A/C#
and started pounding out the first song

There was blood on the keyboard...

..Oh my God.

Spoken Outro: D (jam)
It's true, I fell.
And I hit my . . . my head, you know.
I mean my head . . . my ankle, my ankle was black
But my head got a concussion.
They took x-rays and . . .
I asked the doctor . . . if he could tell whether I was . . .
I don't speak Japanese so . . .
