(Note: amp tremolo used on all verses, off on chorus and bridge)
Intro: A (with feedback, etc)
A G D (x 2 with delay)
I know you.
I know you've seen her.
She's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
Walking down the street
Will I never meet her?
She's a real woman child
Oh my kiss breath turpentine
I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing).
Have you seen her come around?
My crush with eyeliner.
I'm in like.
I'm in-fatuated
It's all too much - the pressure
She's all that I can take.
What position should I wear
and cop an attitude? (you faker)
How can I convince her? (faker)
That I'm invented, too? yeah.
I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
We all invent ourselves, and
(uh,you know me)
BRIDGE: B,A (2x) D,high E,G
(Solo over bridge):
B-----------9--7-7bhr--5----- (2x) then
G--9bh---------------------7--5-
D--9bh----------------------
G---sl/11---11--11---sl/13----13--13--
Yeah, she's a sad tomato
She's three miles of bad road
She's her own invention (She's her own invention)
That gets me in the throat
What can I make myself be?
And Life is strange, yeah life is strange
What can I make myself be (Faker)
To make her mine?
I am smitten
I'll do anything (I'll do anything)
Oh my kiss breath turpentine,
my crush with eyeliner
I am smitten
And you know me (Yeah, you know me)
I could be your Frankenstein
my crush with eyeliner
I am smitten
I'm the real thing (I'm the real thing)
Won't you be my valentine?
My crush with eyeliner
End on E.
