D7M/F 100211

Help !!. The guitar is heavily distorted on the “Live” album so not sure if the

Cmaj7 and Fmaj7 are just a straightforward C and F (although they both fit OK !)

Other than the Em and G chords for the rhythm seems to be hit on the downstroke

with the strings damped.(not sure about the Dmaj7 with F in the bass though !!)

AmThere’s a very big girl all covered in bees

And the dC7Mimples make faces in her knees

And when they turn F7Maway from each other

She whispers “Please, I’m Emjust the Gsame”

And there’s a sAmkinny little pale boy covered in chlorine

C7MSitting on a cold step starting to daydream

He F7Mwonders why he never could fit in

He’s like a Emfish out of his Gbowl

And it’s a D7Mthin line between special and strange

It’s a Amvery thin line between freedom and I wanted

To cEmhange who you are

For what they might want you to Gbe

And it’s a D7Mthin line between you and me

And Amwhat you show and what they really see

But if they turn Emaway just whisper

“Please, I’m jGust the same”

Now there’s a Ambeautiful woman all dripping in honey

She’s sC7Mtanding on the green grass, you’d think she looked sunny

She lF7Mooks up and smiles and for the first time it feels

Like you Emmight just be withG it

She says wD7Mhere have you been my brown-eyed boy

AmWhere have you been my pride and joy

They Emfeel much better, you look much better

Now that you’ve been Gso willing

And it’s a D7Mthin line between special and strange

It’s a Amvery thin line between freedom and I wanted

To cEmhange who you are

For what they might want you to Gbe

And it’s a D7Mthin line between you and me

And Amwhat you show and what they really see

But if they tEmurn away just let them be

They’re Gjust the same

Now there’s a Amvery big girl all covered in bees

And the dC7Mimples make faces in her knees

And when they F7Mturn away from each other

She whispers “Please, I’m Emjust the sGame” Am

ONE MORE WALK AROUND THE DANCE FLOOR

Chords: E 022100

EThe light doesn't work in the bathroom

And my fG♯mriends are all waiting outside

The sound of laBmughter rises up from the courtyard

The children clAing to the skirts of the bride

And the nEoise from outside shakes my windows

You know this G♯mcity can sometimes taste sweet

Of a perBmfume called "Diesel Vanilla"

On the Anape of the neck of the street

Think I'll take F♯mone more walk 'round the dance floor

To make Bsus4sure that there's no one I've miBssed

To make C♯msure that there's nobody Bhere who'll pretend

That tonAight I really exist

C♯m B A

So who cEares what the people are thinking

As we sG♯mpill down the stairs to the door

You know there are twBmenty-three reasons for drinking

There ain't Aone to be flat out on the floor

You know nEobody does what they should do

No I G♯mdon't think I'll ever behave

Though my clBmothes don't fit like they used to

And It's tAoo dark in here for to shave

And I take F♯mone more walk 'round the dance floor

To make Bsus4sure that there's no one I've mBissed

To make C♯msure that there's nobody hBere who'll admit

That tonAight I really exist

C♯m B A

ESomeday I'll find myself somewhere G♯mI've never been before

BmAnd I will see you there the mAoment I'll open the door

EWe'll talk and be polite

G♯mAnd joke about destiny

SONG FOR THE TEMPTED

Chords used: Bm 004432

C+ Aug 004332 (or 000332 if its easier!)

Tips: Try to get the shuffle/rhythmn feel from the opening few bars

which starts with the strings being raked from high to low with a Bm chord

(the same applies to the Em7 chord before you hit G).

For the Bm,C+,D sequence just play the top four strings either

with a pick or your thumb (including Dd5 chord... hold a D chord

and slide your index finger down from 2nd to 1st fret)
