 You look like A perfect fit
 maj7 /
 For a girl in need of a tourniquet
But  can you  save me
 Come on and save  me
 If you could save  me
 From the ranks  of the freaks
 Who suspect  they could never  love anyone
 
   maj7
 'Cause I can tell you know what it's like
 maj7 /
 The long farewell of the hunger strike
You  struck me dumb
 Like radium mm mm
 Like peter  pan  or superman
 You will come
 To save me
 Come on and save me
 If you could save  me
 From the ranks  of the freaks
 Who suspect  they could never  love anyone 3x
-maj7  2x
 But can you save  me
 Come on and save  me
 If you could save  me
 From the ranks  of the freaks
 Who suspect  they could never  love anyone 3x
 for electric rhythm part in the bridge, I get this:
 the electric guitar is tuned down 1/2 step to Eb
 Starting with that lick before the bridge, which would now be
 < = stretch up
 > = release back down
 + = hammer-on

 all the way thru, just playing quietly until the bridge
