intro: G# Bb (C Cmaj7 G G7 G C) -repeat

this lead beginning on first C (w/ variation throughout song):

e-14--12--14-15--12--13--10--13--10--16--13--15--13--14--12-10-12-14--15

also, a note for the remainder of the song, there is almost always a guitar

doing a simple lead over the main chords, but it follows no perceptible

pattern (for the most part) and is quite easy to figure out should you so

desire; therefore, i won't be transcribing it, cos it would take a hell of

a long time. and, on with the song...

verse:

C Cmaj7 G G7 G C

I had forgiven you for tricking me again

C Cmaj7 G G7 G C

But I had been tricked again into forgiving you

chorus:

Am G6 Am Em

What is this?? Are you some kind of hypnotist??

F G Am

Waving your powers around

G# Bb C

The sun eclipse behind the cloud

verse 2: as before

I thought I recognized your face amongst all of those strangers

But I am the stranger now amongst all of the recognized

chorus 2: as before

and that's about it, methinks.
