Chords

Silly chords: Dadd9*: x02232 D*: x00775 Eb*: x68886 Also, I recommend playing the G and G7 like F-chords; i.e., with a barre. So: 355433 and 353433 respectively. The Esus4's are optional, they can be played as regular Em's. I just liked the variation they provided. [Prelude] Esus4 Em x2 Em Dadd9* Am x2 [Intro] Em Am Esus4 Em Am [Verse 1]
       Em             Am                   Esus4   Em Am
I was alone in my room feeling sorry for myself

          Em             Am                         Esus4   Em Am
Call me a prophet of doom, I could think of nothing else

          Em            Dadd9*                 Em      D*
I found a Freudian book gathering dust upon my shelf

               Em            Am                          Esus4   Em Am
I thought I'll give it a look, would it hurt or would it help?
[Chorus]
Gm    Cm/G                D/A     Gm     Cm/G D/A
Freudiana, do you want to be somebody?

[Interlude 1] Em Am Esus4 Em Am [Verse 2]
          Em                    Am                   Esus4   Em Am
I met the Wolfman and the Ratman, Anna O. and little Hans

          Em                    Am                           Esus4    Em Am
They were walking on a tightrope, I never thought they had a chance

           Em                           Dadd9*                    Em     D*
And then a hand reached out to hold them just before they tumbled down

          Em                     Am                        Esus4    Em Am
But I was standing in a quicksand and I could not feel the ground

[Bridge]
Eb                   Eb*             Dm                      Gm     F
   I look back and I try to find the part of me that I don't know

Eb                     Eb*                    Dm                 Gm   F
   I won't stop till I see the truth, there's such a long way to go
[Interlude 2] Em Am Esus4 Em Am [Verse 3]
        Em                   Am                Esus4   Em Am
I saw a picture of a stranger but I don't understand

         Em                    Am                            Esus4   Em Am
He had a ring around his finger and something burning in his hand

      Em                    Dadd9*             Em      D*
And I wanted him to teach me and I needed to believe

        Em                      Am                  Esus4   Em Am
But the shadows that he threw me were intended to deceive

Eb                     Eb*                    Dm                 Gm   F
