Verse: (use intro riff)
A B E
This just in...where to begin

A B D
Grin and bear, it's bare and grim

A E C#m
Adoration, titillation, I'm the victim now

A
Because she's figured me out

B E A
she lights my candle, she has a handle on me

E C#m
It's going well but I'm scared as hell

A
That she'll figure me out

B E A
She thinks that it's scared to be naked

A E C#m
But I don't care, 'cause she's had me there

A
You see she's figured me out



Chorus: A, C#m, B, F#m

A C#m B F#m
And I wanna shout at the top of my lungs now

A C#m B F#m
But oh my God, if she hears me she'll come running in...

A C#m
These are my hands, these are my faults

B
These are my plans,

F#m
These are my nasty little thoughts

A C#m B
I wrote 'em down for you to contemplate

F#m
at a later date


Bridge using Verse chords. Do a little lead in C#m pentatonic


Verse 2: (same idea as verse 1; I gave you the lyrics)

Well the word is out, what's it all about
Doubtless shady, no shadow of doubt
In moderation, this sensation would be fabulous
But she's figured me out
She's in my shower for an hour
She's just washin' and wonderin'
And trying to figure me out...


Chorus (same as before)


Psuedo Bridge: (not really a bridge)

A E C#m F#m
It's a little bit of something that I feel...
Oh man, I just can't deal...
And other than this distance that has covered me
Can't you see that you have smothered me

Verse 3:
Well, you're there, just stay out there
Just when I was on to something else
That's when she figured me out

Chorus and repeat the words "at a later date" ending with a C#m, B, A retard
