Quite easy. Just listen to the song, it hasn’t even got a bridge or solo, so everythings repeating.. Verse: Bm7 / F#sus4 / D / Em7 Chorus: D / Bm7 (x3) Dmaj7 Bm Bm *guitar break* So hold your head, and hold your tongue But only say what you have to

Bm7      F#sus4         D
And as a child yes I dreamed

           Em7                 Bm7
Of holding her in the silver screen

             F#sus4              D
She loved her man but loved him twice

           Em7              Bm7
I wish I'd been that passenger

      F#sus4       D
Having fun, fly my kite

             Em7                   Bm7
The devil inside won't control my life

          F#sus4          D
Too much love, so little hate

             Em7                   Bm7
The devil inside won't control my fate

        D             Bm7
Oh, if only, if only

         D               Bm7
Oh, he wasn't so lonely

           D                    Bm7
He'd have someone to play with
