 Help !!. The guitar is heavily distorted on the “Live” album so not sure if the
  Cmaj7 and Fmaj7 are just a straightforward C and F (although they both fit OK !)
  Other than the Em and G chords for the rhythm seems to be hit on the downstroke
  with the strings damped.(not sure about the Dmaj7 with F in the bass though !!)
There’s  a very big girl all covered in bees
 And the dimples  make faces in her knees
 And when they turn away  from each other
 She whispers “Please, I’m just  the same”
 And there’s a skinny  little pale boy covered in chlorine
Sitting  on a cold step starting to daydream
 He wonders  why he never could fit in
 He’s like a fish  out of his bowl
 And it’s a thin  line between special and strange
 It’s a very  thin line between freedom and I wanted
 To change  who you are
 For what they might want you to be
 And it’s a thin  line between you and me
 And what  you show and what they really see
 But if they turn away  just whisper
 “Please, I’m just  the same”
 Now there’s a beautiful  woman all dripping in honey
 She’s standing  on the green grass, you’d think she looked sunny
 She looks  up and smiles and for the first time it feels
 Like you might  just be with  it
 She says where  have you been my brown-eyed boy
Where  have you been my pride and joy
 They feel  much better, you look much better
 Now that you’ve been so  willing
 And it’s a thin  line between special and strange
 It’s a very  thin line between freedom and I wanted
 To change  who you are
 For what they might want you to be
 And it’s a thin  line between you and me
 And what  you show and what they really see
 But if they turn  away just let them be
 They’re just  the same
 Now there’s a very  big girl all covered in bees
 And the dimples  make faces in her knees
 And when they turn  away from each other
 She whispers “Please, I’m just  the same”

Who’s  that whats’isname. Look  at him he’s back again
Bigger  than before, better and he’s stronger
 And it’s all  for you, it’s always been all  for you
 He’s been unlucky  but he won’t complain
 He said who  needs luck anyway he says everything  I need
 Is buried deep inside me
 And it’s all  for you, it’s always been all  for you.
 And still  you don’t know what  it is you done
 Oh and I  won’t ever  hear you call  my name
 It was hard  at first but now it’s OK
 And you  won’t ever  find me at  your door
 Like the time  before and the time before
 Well everywhere  he lays it down
 He does  his best from town to town
 And people  just get angry ‘cus he should show some ambition
 But that’s all for you,  it’s always been all  for you
 Well maybe  if you change your style
 Tried  to be someone else maybe then  and only then
 You might get some recognition
 But that’s all  for you, that really should be all  for you
 And still  you don’t know what  it is you done
 Oh and I  won’t ever  hear you call  my name
 Again  and again and again and  again
 And you  won’t ever  find me at  your door
 Like the time  before and the time before

Last  week you got married to a new  boy
 You met six months ago
He's  sweet on you
 and he's been carried on a tide  of joy
 The only way to go
New  clique, you’ve met his family and all  his friends
 From years gone by
 Was it a rude  speech by the best man
 Bet your mother  couldn't wait to break down and cry so
Go,  please go
 because your hair  is like a storm cloud
 And the sharks  swim in your eyes
 And I say go,  please go
 Because your tongue  is like a serpent
 And your mouth  is full of lies
Seeing  you here, well that's  no surprise
 That's no  surprise
 Good life,  I hope you have one
 In a nice  house
 With nice things too well
Good  job, I hope he keeps one
 And you  in the style that you're accustomed to well
Don't  cry because I can't take it
 And when  you go, I'm gonna do the same
 I'm gonna slam  the door, pace  the floor
 Fall down  on my knees
 I'm gonna cry out your name and say ...
Go,  please go
 because your hair  is like a storm cloud
 And the sharks  swim in your eyes
 And I say go,  please go
 Because your tongue  is like a serpent
 And your mouth  is full of lies
Seeing  you here, well that's  no surprise
 That's no  surprise
 All that time  we spent,
 well that's all wasted
 And those tears  we cried
 can all still be tasted
 So why don't you
take  away your hips and thighs
Take  away your beguiling eyes
Take  it all away and then don't  come back again,
 just go  please go
When  you go please go  I’ll do the same
And  when you go  I’ll do the same.  Etc

Oh  there were times
 He called your name
 He called it time  and time again
Sometimes  awake
 Or in a dream
 Sometimes he whispered
 Sometimes he screamed
Sometimes  silence
 Somehow
Seems  to sound much louder
 Does knowing you can make  him feel this way
 Keep you feeling prouder
 And though his friends  say he should let go
 I don’t think  he’ll want to know
 For there are things you help him hear
 That keep him warm  as you’re not near
 Sometimes silence
 Somehow
 Seems  to feel much colder
 Does knowing he can feel  something so strong
 Keep him feeling nobler
 He hopes this is the last  song
That  he’s going to write  for you
 And these are the last  words
He’ll  let himself say
 He hopes this is the last  time
That  he stays up all night  for you
If  this is the last  song
He  hopes you hear  it someday

He  hopes this is the last  song
That  he’s going to write  for you
 And these are the last  words
About  you he will say
 He hopes this is the last  time
That  he stays up all night  for you
If  this is the last  song
Still  he hopes you hear  it someday
Sometimes  silence
 Somehow
Seems  to sound much louder
  PERFECT
 Chords: A 577655
You’re  perfect
 You’re like kittens  and tigers
 You’ve everything  a boy could need
You’re  perfect
 You’re endangered  and savage
 And just  a little way out of reach
 You’re better than the  best,  I’ve seen
 You’re better than the rest,  have been
 You’re perfect
 You’re braver  than Batman
 You’re cooler  then Steve McQueen
You’re  perfect
 I’ve never known  you to back down
 And I’d hate  to think of the things that you’ve seen
 You’re better than the best,  I’ve seen
 You’re better than the rest,  have been
Are  you some kind of beautiful  pervert
 I bet you planned  this all along
 Are you some kind of beautiful  pervert
 They’re only listening  now that you’ve gone
 Instrument break: , , ,  X2 , , , ,
You’re  perfect
 There’s something  about you
 That makes  everything seem new
 You’re perfect
 And yet there’s ancient  wisdom
 In every  little thing that you do
 You’re better than the best,  I’ve seen
 You’re better than the rest,  have been
Are  you some kind of beautiful pervert
 I bet you planned  this all along
 Are you some kind of beautiful  pervert
 They’re only listening  now that you’ve gone
 Are you some kind of beautiful pervert
 You’re like a virgin  steeped in sin
 Are you some kind of beautiful pervert
 Don’t tell me crash  was your favourite film
  BACK ON YOUR OWN AGAIN
 Chords: A 577600
, , ,  X2
Take  the flicker  from the screen
 Take this blunt  edge and make it keen
Take  this house  we've shared for years
 With the dust from our skin
 And the damp from our tears
 Take this car  we've driven 'round the world
 Since I was a boy  and you were a girl
Take  these things  and make them new...
Or  do you want to be
 Back on your own  again?
 For the first  time
 In so many Years?
Take  the water  and wet your face
 Close the door behind  you and join the race
Sleek  of hair  and bright of eye
 Like I remember in  days gone by
 I remember the thrill  to watch you dress
 Post your smile  to the same address
And  take these things  and make them new...
Or  do you want to be
 Back on your own  again?
 For the first  time
 In so many Years?
 And would you have the strength
 To face the unknown  again?
After  all these years...

 The intro and the verse are the same and are based on the D chord.
 If you play along to the song you will know when to hammer and pull off
 from the top string on the D/B) and D/G chords.
 Also slide up and down from Fto F and G at the end part of the song
 Dmaj7sus2
 She's an accordion girl
 Built with an accordion  swirl
 She'll let you squeeze
 And stretch her right over  your chest
 Dmaj7sus2
 And I've heard some people say
 She can be  so hard to play
 That whoever  succeeds
 Will be bound  to impress
 And I suspect  that she once had a lover
 Who's memory  haunts her still
 
 And he's unaware of the girl he's created
 And that his memory always will
 Dmaj7sus2
 He's made an accordion girl
 Decked in mother  of pearl
 She's got a look
 And a tone that just mellows
 Dmaj7sus2
 She's got buttons, that you can press
 Still got her makers'  address
 And she'll groan  with a heave of her bellows
 And I suspect  that she once had a lover
 A lover  that made her give in
 
 And he's unaware that he's left her suspended
 
 Like a chord in a ballad that won't ever begin
 She wasn't put  on this world to be happy
  G (2 fr.) (slide  thru ,  and )
 She wasn't put on this world to be with you

Don't  be frightened, don't be scared
 It happens  everyday
 Your're only  lying to yourself
 If you  decide to stay
And  i know that you worry
 That he  might get to know
 So don't  tell him where you've been
 Or where  you're about to go
 Just steal  a way,
steal  away from him

You've  always had it your way

 All the lies  and the shame
 and the pain and the guilt
Now  you can feel it  too
 And you  - steal a way,
steal  away from him

Steal  a way for  you to be free

  ONE MORE WALK AROUND THE DANCE FLOOR
 Chords: E 022100
The  light doesn't work in the bathroom
 And my friends  are all waiting outside
 The sound of laughter  rises up from the courtyard
 The children cling  to the skirts of the bride
 And the noise  from outside shakes my windows
 You know this city  can sometimes taste sweet
 Of a perfume  called "Diesel Vanilla"
 On the nape  of the neck of the street
 Think I'll take one  more walk 'round the dance floor
 To make sure  that there's no one I've missed
 To make sure  that there's nobody here  who'll pretend
 That tonight  I really exist
 
 So who cares  what the people are thinking
 As we spill  down the stairs to the door
 You know there are twenty-three  reasons for drinking
 There ain't one  to be flat out on the floor
 You know nobody  does what they should do
 No I don't  think I'll ever behave
 Though my clothes  don't fit like they used to
 And It's too  dark in here for to shave
 And I take one  more walk 'round the dance floor
 To make sure  that there's no one I've missed
 To make sure  that there's nobody here  who'll admit
 That tonight  I really exist
 
Someday  I'll find myself somewhere I've  never been before
And  I will see you there the moment  I'll open the door
We'll  talk and be polite
And  joke about destiny
  SONG FOR THE TEMPTED
 Chords used: Bm 004432
  C+ Aug 004332 (or 000332 if its easier!)
 Tips: Try to get the shuffle/rhythmn feel from the opening few bars
 which starts with the strings being raked from high to low with a Bm chord
 (the same applies to the Em7 chord before you hit G).
 For the Bm,C+,D sequence just play the top four strings either
 with a pick or your thumb (including Dd5 chord... hold a D chord
 and slide your index finger down from 2nd to 1st fret)
I  was thinking about the devil
 when he tapped  me on the head
 he was dressed  like Jimmy Cagney
 and he wasn’t  even red
 then Jesus  came towards me and asked  me for
 
 cigarette
 and here’s what he said
 he said be careful  what you wish  for
 or it won’t  ever come true
 and if it does  you will believe
 that it’s entirely  down to you
 I said that  is very interesting
 but can I light  that cigarette for you
 he said listen it’s true
 he said hold  back the fire
 he coughed  and he wheezed
 he said why  is everybody  talking to  me on their knees
 he said the thing  I like about you
 is that you’ve never  ever asked me please
 do you have some disease
 I said well  each and everyone  of us
 has a light  that shines inside
 that sometimes  can get  damaged
 and has a tendency  to hide
 and the thing  that you are selling
 is just  our personality
 to feel guilty when free
 just then Satan  said I’m leaving
 I don’t like  what’s in his head
 it feels  just like  home
 and he isn’t  even dead
 it’s all runny  eggs and strangers
white  lines and unmade beds
 and that’s when I said
 I said hold  back the fire
excuse  me please
 I said you  won’t ever fool  the likes
 of Mr  Spoons and  me
 you know we’ve  seen it all before
 on technicolour  DVD
 do you know what I mean
 we said hold  back the fire
 he coughed  and he wheezed
 he said from on high  how am I supposed  to  see
 the things that happen  every day to Mr  Spoons and  me
 Fade out ,+,,+,,+,,+,,+,,+,,+,,+,.
 There all my favs so enjoy, THANKS ALOT FOR CHECKING EZIO OUT.
 (all 100% correct)
But  I know this time will be different
 By the smile  you smile for me
We'd  both be amazed by  coincidence and fate
Both  be amazed just how long  we had to wait
 And then I'll take one  more walk 'round the dance floor
 To make sure  that there's no one I've missed
 To make sure  that there's nobody here  who'll pretend
 That tonight  I really exist

[Dmaj7]/[F]  100211

Help !!. The guitar is heavily distorted on the “Live” album so not sure if the
         Cmaj7 and Fmaj7 are just a straightforward C and F (although they both fit OK !)
         Other than the Em and G chords for the rhythm seems to be hit on the downstroke
         with the strings damped.(not sure about the Dmaj7 with F in the bass though !!)

[Am]There’s a very big girl all covered in bees
And the d[Cmaj7]imples make faces in her knees
And when they turn [Fmaj7]away from each other
She whispers “Please, I’m [Em]just the [G]same”

And there’s a s[Am]kinny little pale boy covered in chlorine
[Cmaj7]Sitting on a cold step starting to daydream
He [Fmaj7]wonders why he never could fit in
He’s like a [Em]fish out of his [G]bowl

And it’s a [Dmaj7]thin line between special and strange
It’s a [Am]very thin line between freedom and I wanted
To c[Em]hange who you are
For what they might want you to [G]be
And it’s a [Dmaj7]thin line between you and me
And [Am]what you show and what they really see
But if they turn [Em]away just whisper
“Please, I’m j[G]ust the same”

Now there’s a [Am]beautiful woman all dripping in honey
She’s s[Cmaj7]tanding on the green grass, you’d think she looked sunny
She l[Fmaj7]ooks up and smiles and for the first time it feels
Like you [Em]might just be with[G] it

She says w[Dmaj7]here have you been my brown-eyed boy
[Am]Where have you been my pride and joy
They [Em]feel much better, you look much better
Now that you’ve been [G]so willing

And it’s a [Dmaj7]thin line between special and strange
It’s a [Am]very thin line between freedom and I wanted
To c[Em]hange who you are
For what they might want you to [G]be
And it’s a [Dmaj7]thin line between you and me
And [Am]what you show and what they really see
But if they t[Em]urn away just let them be
They’re [G]just the same

Now there’s a [Am]very big girl all covered in bees
And the d[Cmaj7]imples make faces in her knees
And when they [Fmaj7]turn away from each other
She whispers “Please, I’m [Em]just the s[G]ame”      [Am]

[Am]Bigger than before, better and he’s stronger
And it’s a[G]ll for you, it’s always been [F#]all for you
He’s been unl[D]ucky but he won’t complain
He said [Dmaj7]who needs luck anyway he says e[Am]verything I need

Is buried deep inside me
And it’s [G]all for you, it’s always been a[F#]ll for you.

And s[Bm]till you don’t know [Bd]what it is you [A]done
Oh and [D]I won’t e[F#m]ver hear you c[Bm]all my n[F#]ame
It was [G]hard at first but now it’s O[F#]K
And [D]you won’t e[F#m]ver find me [Bm]at your d[F#]oor
Like the t[G]ime before and the time bef[F#]ore

Well e[D]verywhere he lays it down
He do[Dmaj7]es his best from town to town
And pe[Am]ople just get angry ‘cus he should show some ambition
But that’s all for y[G]ou, it’s always been [F#]all for you
Well m[D]aybe if you change your style
T[Dmaj7]ried to be someone else maybe [Am]then and only then

[Asus2]  [F#m]  [Dsus2]  [F#m]

[Asus2]Last week you got married to a [F#m]new boy

You met six months ago
[Dsus2]He's sweet on you
and he's been carried on a [F#m]tide of joy

The only way to go

[Asus2]New clique, you’ve met his family and [F#m]all his friends

From years gone by
Was it a [Dsus2]rude speech by the best man
Bet your m[F#m]other couldn't wait to break down and cry so

[D]Go, please [E]go
because your [Asus2]hair is like a storm cloud
And the [F#m]sharks swim in your eyes
And I say [D]go, please [E]go
Because your [Asus2]tongue is like a serpent
And your [F#m]mouth is full of lies
[Asus2]Seeing you here, well [F#m]that's no surprise
That's [C#m]no surprise      [D]                   [E]

Good [Asus2]life, I hope you have one
In a [F#m]nice house

With nice things too well
[D]Good job, I hope he keeps one
And [F#m]you in the style that you're accustomed to well
[Asus2]Don't cry because I can't take it
And [F#m]when you go, I'm gonna do the same
I'm gonna [D]slam the door, [D]pace the floor
Fall [F#m]down on my knees

I'm gonna cry out your name and say ...

[D]Go, please [E]go
because your [Asus2]hair is like a storm cloud
And the [F#m]sharks swim in your eyes
And I say [D]go, please [E]go
Because your [Asus2]tongue is like a serpent
And your [F#m]mouth is full of lies
[Asus2]Seeing you here, well [F#m]that's no surprise
That's [C#m]no surprise    [D]                  [E]

All that [Bm]time we spent,
well that's all [Asus2]wasted
And those [Bm]tears we cried
can all still be [Asus2]tasted

So why don't you
[C#m]take away your hips and thighs
[D]Take away your beguiling eyes
[C#m]Take it all away and then [D]don't come back [E]again,

[D],Dmaj7sus2,[D/B],[D/G]  X2

The intro and the verse are the same and are based on the D chord.
If you play along to the song you will know when to hammer and pull off
from the top string on the D/B) and D/G chords.
Also slide up and down from F

[D]                  Dmaj7sus2
She's an accordion girl
Built with an [D/B]accordion swirl
She'll let you [D/G]squeeze
And stretch her right o[D]ver your chest

[D]                          Dmaj7sus2
And I've heard some people say
She can [D/B]be so hard to play
That who[D/G]ever succeeds
Will be [D]bound to impress

And I susp[A]ect that she once had a lover  [Em7]
Who's [A]memory haunts her [Em7]still
             [G]           [G/f#]         [G/E]
And he's unaware of the girl he's created
[G/f#]          [G]     [G/f#]    [A]
And that his memory always will

[A]            [D]         Dmaj7sus2
He's made an accordion girl
Decked in m[D/B]other of pearl
She's got a l[D/G]ook
And a tone that just m[D]ellows
[D]                               Dmaj7sus2
She's got buttons, that you can press
Still got her [D/B]makers' address
And she'll g[D/G]roan with a heave of her [D]bellows

And I susp[A]ect that she once had a lover   [Em7]
A lo[A]ver that made her give [Em7]in
             [G]              [G/f#]        [G/E]
And he's unaware that he's left her suspended
        [G/f#]       [G]                [G/f#]    [A]
Like a chord in a ballad that won't ever begin

                     ONE MORE WALK AROUND THE DANCE FLOOR
Chords: E     022100

[E]The light doesn't work in the bathroom
And my f[Abm]riends are all waiting outside
The sound of la[Bm]ughter rises up from the courtyard
The children cl[A]ing to the skirts of the bride
And the n[E]oise from outside shakes my windows
You know this [Abm]city can sometimes taste sweet
Of a per[Bm]fume called "Diesel Vanilla"
On the [A]nape of the neck of the street
Think I'll take [F#m]one more walk 'round the dance floor
To make [Bsus4]sure that there's no one I've mi[B]ssed
To make [C#m]sure that there's nobody [B]here who'll pretend
That ton[A]ight I really exist

          [C#m] [B] [A]

So who c[E]ares what the people are thinking
As we s[Abm]pill down the stairs to the door
You know there are tw[Bm]enty-three reasons for drinking
There ain't [A]one to be flat out on the floor
You know n[E]obody does what they should do
No I [Abm]don't think I'll ever behave
Though my cl[Bm]othes don't fit like they used to
And It's t[A]oo dark in here for to shave

And I take [F#m]one more walk 'round the dance floor
To make [Bsus4]sure that there's no one I've m[B]issed
To make [C#m]sure that there's nobody h[B]ere who'll admit
That ton[A]ight I really exist

           [C#m] [B] [A]

[E]Someday I'll find myself somewhere [Abm]I've never been before
[Bm]And I will see you there the m[A]oment I'll open the door
[E]We'll talk and be polite
[Abm]And joke about destiny

Chords used: Bm      004432
                C+ Aug  004332      (or 000332 if its easier!)

Tips: Try to get the shuffle/rhythmn feel from the opening few bars
which starts with the strings being raked from high to low with a Bm chord
(the same applies to the Em7 chord before you hit G).
For the Bm,C+,D sequence just play the top four strings either
with a pick or your thumb (including Dd5 chord... hold a D chord
and slide your index finger down from 2nd to 1st fret)

[Bm]I was thinking about the d[C]evil
when he [D]tapped me on the [C]head
he was [Bm]dressed like Jimmy [C]Cagney
and he [D]wasn’t even [C]red
then [Em7]Jesus came towards me and a[G]sked me for
       [D]
[A] cigarette
and here’s what he [F#]said
he said be c[Bm]areful what you [C]wish for
or it [D]won’t ever come [C]true
and if it [Bm]does you will be[C]lieve
that it’s e[D]ntirely down to y[C]ou
I said t[Em7]hat is very interesting
but can I [G]light that cigarette for [D]you
he said listen it’s t[F#]rue
he said [D]hold back the fire
he c[F#]oughed and he wheezed
he said [Bm]why is every[C]body talking [D]to me on their k[Dd5]nees
he said the [G]thing I like about you
is that you’ve n[Gm]ever ever asked me p[D]lease
do you have some dis[F#]ease

[Bm] [C]  [D] [C]  [Bm] [C]  [D] [C]  [Em7] [G] [D] [F#]

I said well[Bm] each and eve[C]ryone of us
has a [D]light that shines i[C]nside
that [Bm]sometimes can get[C] damaged
and has a [D]tendency to h[C]ide
and the t[Em7]hing that you are selling
is ju[G]st our personal[D]ity
to feel guilty when [F#]free
just then [Bm]Satan said I’m [C]leaving
I don’t [D]like what’s in his [C]head
it [Bm]feels just like[C] home
and he [D]isn’t even [C]dead
it’s all [Em7]runny eggs and strangers
[G]white lines and unmade [D]beds
and that’s when I [F#]said
I said [D]hold back the fire
[F#]excuse me please
I said [Bm]you won’t ever [C]fool the likes
of [D]Mr Spoons and[Dd5] me
you know we’ve[G] seen it all before
on [Gm]technicolour DVD[D]
do you know what I [F#]mean

[Bm] [C]  [D] [C]  [Bm] [C]  [D] [C]  [Em7] [G] [D] [F#]

we said h[D]old back the fire
he [F#]coughed and he wheezed

By the s[A]mile you smile for me
[Abm]We'd both be amazed b[A]y coincidence and fate
[Abm]Both be amazed just how lo[A]ng we had to wait

And then I'll take [F#m]one more walk 'round the dance floor
