Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
VERSE ---------------------
 (play a muted G barre chord with a bluesy feel thru whole verse)
 then a little riff kinda like this: (I can play it better than tabbing it :)
 Riff
D ---------3hp5-----------|
 A --3-3ph5----------------| (go back to G barre)
E ------------------------|
 Please baby can't you see
 My mind's a burnin' hell
 I got razors a rippin' and tearin' and strippin'
 My heart apart as well
 Tonight you told me
 That you ache for something new
 And some other woman is lookin' like something
 That might be good for you
Go  on and hold her 'till the screaming is  gone
Go  on believe her when she tells  you nothing's  wrong
 G F E (use 7th fret w/
 I'm the only one, who'll walk across the fire for you open E & Riff
 Riff  (again easier played than displayed)
 A --7p5----7p5----7p5-------------|
E ------7------7------5-3---------|
I'm  the only one, who'll drown  in my desire for you
It's  only fear that makes you run
 The demons  that you're hiding from
 When all  your promises are gone
 I'm the only one...
 VERSE  (do as the 1st)
 Please baby can't you see
 I'm trying to explain
 I've been here before and I'm locking the door
 And I'm not going back again
 Her eyes and arms and skin won't make it go away
 You'll wake up tommorrow and wrestle the sorrow
 That holds you down today
 Repeat Chorus...Add Solo.....Repeat Chorus Again...
