Verse 1:

	G                  C
	If you could only see me
	G                      C  FaddG  C
	And know exactly who I am
	G                    C
	You wouldn't want to be me
	      B7
	Why I can assure you of that

Verse 2:

	I'm not the guy to run with
	'Cause I'll throw you off the line
	I'll break you and destroy you
	Given time

Chorus:

	G                      FaddG
	He's King Midas with a curse
	C                     G
	He's King Midas in reverse
	G                      FaddG
	He's King Midas with a curse
	C                     G
	He's King Midas in reverse

Verse 3:

	It's plain to see it's hopeless
	Going on the way we are
	So even though I lose you
	We'd be better off by far

Bridge:

	     Bm
	He's not the man to hold your trust
	Bm(maj7)                       Bm7          E7
	Everything he touches turns to dust in his hands
	Bm
	Nothing he can do is right
	Bm(maj7)                    Bm7           E7
	He'd even like to sleep at night, but he can't

[orchestral break over chorus chords]

Verse 4:

	I wish someone would find me
	And help me gain control
	Before I lose my reason
	And my soul

[repeat chorus to fade]
