 x 2
She  don't really want  my love,
 But she won't  set me free,  she wants to hold  me
She's  gonna make me blow  my mind,
 If I don't  get away,  my Doctor told  me
 I'm walkin'  around talkin' to myself
 I don't know where I'm at, half the time
 I look  at her picture, I see her face,
 I think of what she is, and I start cryin'
Gaslight,  that ought  to be her name, 'cuz she's everybody's  flame
Gaslight,  you can turn  her on to the level  you desire
Gaslight,  she'll light  you up and set  you a' fire
Gaslight,  you better  be cool or you'll wind  up a fool like me
 There has got to be a way
 To change that girl, you know how much I need her
 She knows what she's got on me,
 And she knows, I can't bring myself to leave her
 I'm walkin' around talkin' to myself
 I don't know where I'm at, half the time
 I look at her picture, I see her face,
 I think of what she is, and I start cryin'
 Chorus x 2
 Chords used:
/  x36654
 At the end of the chorus there is a quickly alternating Cm / C#m* x4.
 You may want to try transposing up 3 semitones (start on Em) then the Em/Dis an easier 021000.
 Either way, using barre chords sounds cooler.
