Chords:
These two lead chords are quite weird! They're all androgyny and someway
senseless. They're similar to each other with a tone between; you can call them:

 A7(no3)  Emadd11(no5) G6sus2(no5)
 B7(no3) F#madd11(no5) A6sus2(no5)

It's only weird 'cause the bass note is missing, so I'd simply call them:

     C5            D5
   -------------   -------------
   ----------5--   ----------7--
   ---(b9) or -2--   --10- or -4--
   ---7------5--   ---(b9)-----7--
   --10---------   --12---------
   -------------   -------------

In the chorus Em , D and D#6/Bb also appear. The D# is of course the same shape
as the two previous chords and the D is not played at all, but only appears in
the shape of Thom's vocal landscape, so you'll have to handle that by yourself!
Remember that you can always mail me if you need help for the D...

      E5 *            Eb5
   ---7---------   -------------
   ---8---------   ----------8--
   ---(b9)--------   --12- or -5--
   -------------   --10------8--
   -------------   --13---------
   -------------   -------------

*I'd boost the Em a little! By the way Em / G / # is also the key for the song.


1st Verse:
C5
  Please excuse me, but I got to ask
                                      D5
  Are you only being nice because you want something?
C5
  My fairytale arrow pierces
                                               D5
  Be careful how you respond, 'cause you'd not end up in this song
C5
  I never gave you an encouragement

  And it's doing me in, doing me in
           D5
  Doing me in, doing me in, doing me in


Chorus:
   C5  D5 
      E5               D5
  The more you try to erase me 
      C5       D5
  The more, the more
      E5              D5
  The more that I appear 
      C5       D5
  The more, the more 
      E5                D5
  The more you try the eraser 
      C5       D5
  The more, the more 
      E5                D5
  The more that you appear 

   Eb5 


2nd Verse:
  You know the answer so why do you ask?
  I am only being nice because I want someone
  Something
  You're like a kitten with a ball of yarn 
  And it's doing me in, doing me in
  Doing me in, doing me in, doing me in


Chorus:
  The more you try to erase me 
  The more, the more 
  The more that I appear 
  Oh the more, the more 
  The more I try to erase you 
  The more, the more 
  The more that you appear 

  No, you're wrong, you're wrong
