Chords

I realized after tabbing this out that her guitar may be tuned down a whole step. Either way, these chords will still work or you can transpose it down by 2. [Intro]

G#                                     G
Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?

[Verse 1]

G#
Forgive the kids, for they don't know how to live

        C#
Run the alleys, casually

[Chorus]

G#
cruel, cruel

[Interlude 1]

G#                                   G                             F#
Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you? If you could want that too

[Verse 2]

G#
They could take or leave you so they took you and they left you.

          C#
How could they be casually

[Chorus]

G#
Cruel, cruel

C#
Cruel, cruel

for the guitar solo here, she plays: G# G F# D# [Interlude 2]

G#                                   G
Bodies, can't you see what everybody wants from you?

             F#                           D#
If you could want that too, then you'd be happy

[Verse 3]

G#           A#m        B#m           C#                F#  C#
You were the one waving flares in the air so they could see you

    A#m           B#m             C#              E
And they were the zephyr, blowin' past ya, blowin fastly

              F#  C#
so they could see you

[Chorus]

G#
Cruel, cruel

C#
Cruel, cruel, oh

G#
Cruel, cruel

C#
Cruel, cruel
