This is the intro part. I just used the basics, he is strumming but I just
wrote down the accents. That Bsus4 might be called something else but just
for the sake of calling it something I called it Bsus4. --->

This is the verse. Just keep repeating this until you get to the end of the
verse where he just stays on E. In all of these E chords he adds G(1st string
3rd fret) on the off beats...listen for it.

This is the next part, whatever you want to call it...bridge I guess. The last
two bars are not just C and D chords. The C is fingered differently. Use your
fourth finger for the C, your third finger for the E and your second finger for
the high C. To go up to the D from there just slide your hand up two frets and
bar the second fret. I realize it would be just as easy to play a normal first
position C with a first position D but this sounds better.

This, finally, is the chorus. This is what I got out of it anyway. The chords
are simple so I'll write the lead. Now, I might have made a mistake in this
part, If so please message me and tell me so I can fix it. Keep playing the
first two bars until the last part of the chorus. The only difference is the
last three notes.

Lyrics:
Forward yesterday, makes me want to stay
What they said was real, makes me want to steal
Living under house, yes I'm living I'm a mouse
All I got is time, got no meaning just a rhyme
Take time with a wounded hand, cause It likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand, guess I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand, cause it likes to heal, I like to steal
I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the sun, it fades to grey)
I'm half the man I used to be
I'm half the man I used to be
Half the man I used to be, Half the man I used to be
Feeling Uninspired, think I'll start a fire
Everybody run, Bobby's got a gun
Think you're kind'a neat, then she tells me I'm a creep
Friends don't mean a thing, guess I'll leave it up to me

etc. please mail me at:

This is a better version of Creep by the Stone Temple Pilots than you have
at the moment.

This is the intro part. It's just the strumming of three chords: C, Bsus4,
and Em7. I haven't written down the rhythm, but its easy to get.
C Bsus4 Em7 C Bsus4 Em7(hold)
:---0--:--2--:--3--:--0--:--2--:--3------

:---3--:--2--:--2--:--3--:--2--:--2------
:------:--2--:--0--:-----:--2--:--0------
Next is the verse. Repeat this chord progression until you get to the end
of the
verse where he just stays on Em7.

The next part is where Weiland starts singing 'Take time with a wounded
hand..'
Each time when you get to the Em7 chord, make sure you strum the high D and
G
on the first and second strings along to the rhythm.

Lastly, here is the chorus. Play this 4 times. Remember to hold the B at
the
end of each time.
