   G                               C        - G                                           C -  F - C

1.     If you could only see me       and know exactly where I a............m,

G                                   C         - B7

    you wouldn't want to be me,         oh, I can assure you of that.

 

   G                               C          - G                                            C -  F - C

2.    I'm not the guy to run with,      'cause I'll throw you off the li..........ne,

G                                     C                   B7

    I'll break you and destroy you given ti.......me.

 

  G                                  F         C                              G

He's King Midas with a curse, he's King Midas in reverse !

  G                                  F         C                              G

He's King Midas with a curse, he's King Midas in reverse !

 

   G                                  C             - G                                   C -  F - C

3.     It's plain to see it's hopeless,        going on the way we a..........re,

G                               C                          B7

    so even though I lose you, we'd be better off by far.

 

              Bm

    He's not the man to hold your trust,

    Bm                                                               E

    everything he touches turns to dust in his hands.

    Bm

    Nothing he can do is right,

            Bm                                                 E

    he'd even like to sleep at night, but he can't.

4.     I wish someone would find me,     and help me gain contro.............l,

G                              C                     B7

    before I lose my reason and my soul.

 

+ CHORUS (2x) ....
