Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
Ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh
Ooh oo-ooh
Ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh
Ooh You
Verse
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
look like youve been losing sleep said a
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
stranger on a train I fixed him with an
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
ice cold stare and said Ive been having those dreams again
Every verse is basically played the same, but sometimes Adam throws in a C chord for the
two beats of the 1st or 2nd line of each verse, instead of just the Em riff. He also
an extra bar of the Em riff after some of the verses. I have indicated this below.
In one dream there's this girl I love
And we dance every wakin' breath
And in the other they've thrown me in a cell
X2
And they're tryin' me for her death
I'm only young and young in love
As I hold that girl today
But I'm old and tired and in the cell
X2
And I've nigh on withered away
Bridge
Play the intro again, but skip the first time through, so you only play it 4X, all with
Oohs. Note that the first words of the next verse below (Ysee my) fall on the last
and a half of the bridge.
Verse
Y'see my baby' gone away too long
And I'm chokin' back the tears
Disheveled star in a burnt out bar
And I'm talkin' in my drink
She promised me the world and more
How could she do this to me?
And now mine's tumblin' down around
But at least my eyes can see, And those
* X2
stars in the sky are for me
So as this fagged-out tinsel town
Waves so-long to the sun
I lay here calmly on my bed
And the trigger of my gun
And should that no good woman show up
Dancin' from a dream
I'll squeeze it twice and not think twice
And relish every scream
Outro
On the last line of the last verse, Adam sings scream an octave higher, and moves
into the falsetto Oohs like in the Intro. Scream replaces the first Ooh ooh, so it
like this:
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
Scre- eam oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh
Ooh oo-ooh
Ooh ooh oo-ooh ooh oo-ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
ooh
Gradually slow down the last few bars until the end.
