Smashing Pumpkins - Stumbleine (Mellon Collie & The Infinite Sadness)

So I know that the album version involves just finger picking but I was 
inspired to provide the chords after hearing this beautiful new version 
of the song performed at Space 15 Twenty, Los Angeles on 17th April 2010 
(for Record Store Day.)

I hope you enjoy playing this as much as I do! 
Take a look at this cool clip of this awesome song.....

Intro: D, Dsus4, D,   Em7, Asus2,   D, Dsus4, D   
   
Em7                                       Asus2   D  Dsus4  D
Boredom's in the bathroom shaking out the loose teeth
Em7                                   Asus2  D  Dsus4  D
Sally's in the stirrups claiming her destiny
     Em7                       Asus2  G       Em7
And nobody nowhere understands anything about me
     C       G     Em7 G   D  Dsus4  D
And all my dreams lost at sea

Em7                      Asus2   D  Dsus4  D
Jack it up Judy set your heart alight
Em7                      Asus2   D  Dsus4  D
Mayfair mistress of the satellites
Em7                        Asus2 G         Em7 
Misspent youth faking up a rampage to hold off
     C     G    Em7            G
The real slaves paid off and staid
 D            Em7   G     D        Em7     G         C   G
And what you never knew, can never get to you... so fake it

 D            Em7   G
I'll be your Stumbleine
 D            Em7   G           C    G
I'll be your super queen... and fake you

Em7(Pause)                        Asus2   D  Dsus4  D
Jukebox fuck up hanging round the drugstore
Em7(Pause)                      Asus2     D  Dsus4  D
No matter what you say he'll be back for more
Em7                             Asus2  D  Dsus4  D
Mommy's in the manger with the little kids
Em7                           Asus2 G     Em7
She's got her reasons, got my forgets of tears
     C      G      Em7  
And idle threats misplaced and               
 D            Em7   G     D        Em7     G         C   G
And what you never knew, can never get to you... so fake it

 D           Em7   G
I'll be your Stumbleine
 D           Em7    G            C    G  D  Dsus4  D
I'll be your super queen... and make you me

Em7                            Asus2  D  Dsus4  D
Come around Ruby I could never sleep alone
Em7(Pause)                Asus2   D
I'm down on sunset on the telephone
