-- Listening to this song, the guitar work sounds very complex. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the verses are constructed on two chords. However, Neil is adding a lot of other little licks and "side chords" in between to make things interesting. (for exam- ple, one of his faves is an Em form like this: X7978[10].) I would suggest you do your own goofing around and figure out what works.
-- The bridge ("Frost on the window pane...") is particularly tricky in this song, but once you get the fingerings down, it flows beauti- fully.
INTRO: B7* Em* B7 Em B7 Em
There's closets in my head where dirty things are kept
That never see the light of day
I want to drag them out, go for a walk
Just to see the look that's on your face
Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you
So forgive me if I tell a lie
Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it
I will love you till the day I die
[*** NOTE: See below for guitar tab for this chorus]
I believe in doing things backwards
Take heed, start doing things in reverse
Here comes trouble, there's nothing wrong when I relax I'm talking to myself you're coming with me Teaching you how to distort the facts Sometimes I can't be straight I don't want to hurt you So forgive me if I tell a lie Sometimes I come on cold but don't believe it I will love you till the day I die
I believe in doing things backwards Take heed, start doing things in reverse
Frost on the window pane, the sound of pouring rain G(11)/B* All makes me glad of you
Though I am far away I am always with you
Know the answer before you know the question
Pull yourself together, baby, push with all your might G(11)/B I'm all alone, always alone
Though I am far away C B(VII) I am always with you
