When playing the verses, lift your index finger off the G string for the D and G6add9 chords. 

D     G69
D                              G69
Poetry is no place for a heart that's a whore
D                                G69
And I'm young & I'm strong But I feel old & tired, overfired.
D                                                G69
And I've been poked & stoked, it's all smoke, there's no more fire
          A
Only desire
                Em7
For you, whoever you are
                     D
For you, whoever you are
                                G6add9
You say my time here has been some sort of joke
                    D                   G69
That I've been messing around some sort of incubating period
                 D                   G9
For when I really come around I'm cracking up
                Em7
And you have no idea
        G9              D
No idea how it feels to be on your own
            G9                 D
In your own home with the fucking phone
               G9
And the mother of gloom
         D
In your bedroom
                G9
Standing over your head
                Em7                         D
With her hand in your head, with her hand in your head
           G9                        D
I will not pretend I will not put on a smile
                  G9                      A
I will not say I'm all right for you when all I wanted was to be good
                 G9               D
To do everything in truth, to do everything in truth
D                             G69
oh I wish, I wish, I wish I was born a man
                  D              G9
so I could learn how to stand up for myself
                   D
like those guys with guitars
                     G9
I've been watching in bars
                       D                   G9
who've been stamping their feet to a different beat
             Em7                  D
to a different beat, to a different beat
           G9                        D
I will not pretend I will not put on a smile
                  G9                      A
I will not say I'm all right for you when all I wanted was to be good
                 G9               D
To do everything in truth, to do everything in truth
                  G9

                  D
you bloody motherfucking asshole
                  G9

                  G9

                  D
you bloody
           G9                        D
I will not pretend I will not put on a smile
                  G9
I will not say I'm all right for you, 
                A
for you, whoever you are
                G9
for you, whoever you are
                D
for you, whoever you are
