C                          F             | Am G |
Pleased to meet you, baby, I'm your fool

C              F           |Am    G |
I'm the patron saint of the cruel

C                   F          | Am G |
There's a dark room in my soul

            C                  F      |Am   G |
When I hear your name, baby, I lose control
[Chorus 1]
F                         Am                   
Here me now, here me now, hear me now, hear me now

        E                            Am
There's nothing very much I wouldn't do to catch your eye

              F                       Am
And you can't see me now, see me now, see me now, see me now

        E                               |F      G |
There's just too many things I'm haunted by . . .
[Verse 2]
C                F           | Am G |
I'm no loser but I can't win

C                 F           |Am   G |
I'm the right man in the wrong skin

C             F          | Am G |
I can be your holy ghost

            C                    F                | Am   G |
But I'll be deaf, dumb and blind . when you need me most
[Chorus 1]
F                         Am                   
Here me now, here me now, hear me now, hear me now

        E                            Am
There's nothing very much I wouldn't do to catch your eye

              F                       Am
And you can't see me now, see me now, see me now, see me now

              F      C  |Dm       |
And though my nights are strange 

G                                C     C/B Am
There's a voice inside my head I would not change

A7                          F       C    G
Every now and then I see my friends pass by

             G                            C    C/B  Am
But I've got nothing more to say except a long good—bye

             Dm       | Dm     |    
And though I try . . .  . . . .

     G                                |C   F | Am G | C F | Am G |
It's clear to see that I'm a desperate guy

[Outro]| C F | Am G | C F | Am G | C <> | Charted by Dexex I write chord charts to show how, as a rhythm guitarist, I play songs. I don't claim they are the "right" way. They're not tabs which are intended to notate exactly how a song was played on a recording.
