Cadd4: x33010 (basically a C, where you play the third fret, D string with your pinky.
The section where he uses this, he just alternates between C and Cadd4)
[Verse]
C F G C It's starting to come to me, your new career would probably end like this C G All that professional lipstick pressed into an amateur kiss C Farewell to the studied lines and carefully broken hearts
The overpowering perfume and the glimpse of her garter
[Pre-Chorus]
C G C F Mingling with the sweet smoldering scent of the martyr
[Chorus]
C G F Well it's starting to come to me C G C Starting to come to me
[Verse 2]
C F G C So you began to recognize the well-dressed man that everybody loves C G It started when you chopped off all the fingers of those pony skin gloves C Then you cut a hole out where the lovelight used to shine
Your tears of pleasure equal measure crocodile and brine
[Pre-Chorus]
C G C F You try to laugh it off saying "I knew all the time...
[Chorus]
C G F But it's starting to come to me C G C Starting to come to me
[Bridge]
G D Sometimes you bring me down to play reluctant confidant D G You say you may reward him if he gives you what you want C D But these are days to treasure and to hold G They’re much too precious to be sold C D You'd probably play the pirate if you weren't G F so busy digging up the gold
[Verse 3]
C F G C Now you could tell he wanted you 'cause you could almost taste it on his breath C G But you always cheated life just like the bold daredevil cheated death C F G C Incidentally, late last night your understudy finally got what you deserve C G In private she's seductive but in public she's prim, porcelain and nervous C Afraid someone will recognize the shame in her eyes
You've still got your dignity or the next best disguise
C G C F You never know when to say no and when to compromise C G F But it's starting to come to me C G F Starting to come to me (come to me, come to me) C G C Starting to come to me
