CAPO 1
C F7 (intro with hammer on Cmaj7 to C)
I'm a man without a soul...Honey, yeah
I lost it while parading it, in a town full of thieves
Y'see I didn't wanna be with any people I know.
But god knows, I didn't wanna be alone
I thought if I acted like someone else
I'd feel more comfortable with myself
Dm7 G7 C A7 (x2) Dm7 G7 C F7...
So I showered down, left my little room

Jumped in my car for protection from hostility
Well it ain't easy to be bold in an unknown city
Yeah I was feeling strong mouthed and weak willed
When I ran into the cure for my ills

C Bb C/G F7
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?

C F7
There'll be no sleep 'til the morning
There'll be no lullabyes
'cause the devil borrowed my clothes just for tonight

C Bb C/G F7
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.

Dm7 G7 C A7 (x2) Dm7 G7 C F7...
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.

C Bb C/G F7
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.

Come my love with your desire
Out of the blue...and into the fire!!
Should be okay- capo on 1. Have been using the vid enclosed.

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): Dm7 G7 C A7 (x2)
Dm7 G7 C F7...

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 C Bb C/G F7 pattern to fade.
