[Intro] | C F | Am G | C F | Am G |
[Verse 1]
C F | Am G |
Pleased to meet you, baby, I'm your fool
C F |Am G |
I'm the patron saint of the cruel
C F | Am G |
There's a dark room in my soul
C F |Am G |
When I hear your name, baby, I lose control
[Chorus 1]
F Am
Here me now, here me now, hear me now, hear me now
E Am
There's nothing very much I wouldn't do to catch your eye
F Am
And you can't see me now, see me now, see me now, see me now
E |F G |
There's just too many things I'm haunted by . . .
[Verse 2]
C F | Am G |
I'm no loser but I can't win
C F |Am G |
I'm the right man in the wrong skin
C F | Am G |
I can be your holy ghost
C F | Am G |
But I'll be deaf, dumb and blind . when you need me most
[Chorus 1]
F Am
Here me now, here me now, hear me now, hear me now
E Am
There's nothing very much I wouldn't do to catch your eye
F Am
And you can't see me now, see me now, see me now, see me now
E |F |
There's just too many things I'm haunted by
[Chorus 2]
F C |Dm |
And though my nights are strange
G C C/B Am
There's a voice inside my head I would not change
A7 F C G
Every now and then I see my friends pass by
G C C/B Am
But I've got nothing more to say except a long good—bye
Dm | Dm |
And though I try . . . . . . .
G |C F | Am G | C F | Am G |
It's clear to see that I'm a desperate guy

Charted by Dexex
I write chord charts to show how, as a rhythm guitarist,
I play songs. I don't claim they are the "right" way. They're not
tabs which are intended to notate exactly how a song was played
on a recording.
