NOTES:
This is an example where the recording has come out slightly flatter than
for standard tuning. It is actually a quarter-tone flatter. So, if you want
to play along, (of course, you want to...) you'll need to de-tune by a
quarter-tone.

If you have a chromatic tuner, you can do this relatively easily. Then play
the chords I've indicated. If you don't, and can't, then I'm afraid you
won't be able to play along. So, go out now and buy one!


INTRO:
Notes:
The chords are played as eighth-notes on an electric piano.

Dmaj7 x57675

VERSE1:
Chords:
Dmaj7 x57675
Em7   x79787
Bm7   797777

Dmaj7         Em7
  He can only hold her for so long,
Dmaj7                   Em7
  The lights are on but no-one's home.

Dmaj7               Em7
  She is so vacant, her soul is taken,
Dmaj7                   Em7
  He thinks; what's she running from?


CHORUS1:
Chords:
Dmaj7 x57675
Em7   x79787
Bm7   797777

     Dmaj7              Em7        Bm7   Em7
Now, how can he have her heart, when it got stole?
      Dmaj7              Em7                          A#m  Em7
So he tries to pacify her, 'cos what's inside her never dies.


[Interlude played over: | Dmaj7 | Em7 |]

Chords:
Dmaj7 x57675
Em7   x79787
Bm7   797777

Dmaj7              Em7
  Even if she's content in his warmth,
Dmaj7                   Em7
  She gets plagued with her urgency.

Dmaj7                Em7
  Urgent kisses, the miss misses,
Dmaj7             Em7
  The man that he longs to be.
