Well, I know the intro is right, but I am not sure if the chorus is

correct. This is what I get from looking at some guitar tab, but it

just doesn't sound "perfect"

Lyrics-

In my own simple way

I think she wants me only

she said 'come over right away'

But she's just not that way

her little soul is stolen

see her put on her brand new face

Pull the shades, razor blades you're so tragic

Hate you so, love you more, so elastic

things you say, games you play, dirty magic I...

I should know better than

to think i'd reach inside her

it's all a cloudy kind of daze

she's not so sweet today

she mocks me, i'm no fighter

it always seems like such a waste.

it's oversimplified...

-----------------------------------------------------------------

That's it. If you know where I went wrong, e-mail me

with the corrections. This is one of my favorite songs

and it really gets me that I can't get the chorus

to sound right. Maybe he steps his bass down some, or

uses a pedal. I'll have to try it.
