Intro: Am  Am/G#  Am/G  Am/F#

 F               E               Am                   D/F#           G        (sus)
Some things you never get used to, even though you're feeling like another man
         Bm                                  D              E 
There's nothing that he can do for you, to shut me away as you walk through
Am  -   Am/C              D             Am  -  Am/C          D 
Lovers laughing in their amateur hour, holding hands in the corridors of power
Am  -  Am/C      F             E 
Even though I'm with somebody else right now

A-A/G   F#m    D                 E                 D         E
High  fidelity, can you hear me?  can you hear me?  can you hear me?
A-A/G   F#m    D                 E                 F             G
High  fidelity, can you hear me?  can you hear me?  can you hear me?

 C                                 C
There's a new kind of dedication, maybe you'll find it down the tunnel
 C                             C
Maybe I got above my station, maybe you're only changing channels

F                   E              Am              D/F#           G        (sus)
Even though you're nowhere near me, and I know you kiss him so sincerely now
Bm                                            D                E
Even though the signal's indistinct, and you worry what silly people think
     Am   -    Am/C     D                 Am    -    Am/C       D
Who just can't wait to feel so frozen out, I bet he thinks that he was chosen out
Am  -  Am/C      F                 E
out of millions, I suppose he'll never know about

A-A/G   F#m    D                 E                 D         E
High  fidelity, can you hear me?  can you hear me?  can you hear me?
A-A/G   F#m    D                 E                 F             G
High  fidelity, can you hear me?  can you hear me?  can you hear me?
 F           G     F  G  F  G
Can you hear me?

** Note - the intro really goes back and forth between an Am and Asus4 for each 
bass note, but with it's going to be hard with the moving bass notes.
