Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Don't tell me what your name is
I want your body, not your mind,
I want a feeling, worth paying for before I say goodbye
But as I was talking, I couldn't look her in the eyes,
I just kept wondering,
How many men unleashed their frustration between her thighs?
There'll be no sleep 'til the morning
There'll be no lullabyes
'cause the devil borrowed my clothes just for tonight
Well my adrenalin, was curdling like cream,
as I was being led by the hand.
Through the sound of sirens
And the distant noise of some drunken jazz band,
Through the stench of disinfectant--
that "INFECTED" my head,
through the darkness of a corridor
and into a stranger's bed.
Well I didn't wanna hurt your feelings, honey
But I couldn't suppress my own,
I had to pull myself outta this nosedive
by proving something to myself.
She was lying on her back
with her lips parted.
Squealing like a stuffed pig
I was going through the motions
faking the emotions, and wriggling around like a lizard in a tin.
Trying so hard to cleanse myself,
I was turning into somebody else.
I was trying so hard to please myself,
I was turning into somebody else.
I was trying so hard to be myself
I was turning into somebody else.
I was trying so hard to be myself
I was turning into somebody else.
I was trying so hard to be myself
I was turning into somebody else.
Intro is a kind of Cmaj7 to C hammer-on [x30000 to x32010], then F7 (just C to F7
is fine if it pisses you off trying to nail it, mind).
Verse is same chords: C to F7.
1.09 (see vid): (x2)
1.29: C Bb C/G* F7 repeated (*= try Am if it annoys you- not quite right but it works well enough)
1.53: Back to C F7 pattern.
2.18: Back to C Bb C/G F7 pattern.
2.43: Back to Dm7 G7 C A7 pattern (ie 1.09).
Then pattern to fade.
