Can't Stand Me Now chords by The Libertines

song: Can't Stand Me Now
band: Libertines
album: Libertines

Thought I'd take a stab at this tune, it's a nice little ditty, easy to
play.

free time: A  B  E
either open or on the 5th & 7th frets.

intro/verse:
stay on the "E" from above for several measures after the drums kick in,
then (at around :40) proceed to A, then arpeggiate the following: C#min B  A
  B (1x) note: it sounds like the C#min is played variously at the 16th,
9th, & 4th frets throughout the song--you decide) The lead riff sounds like
variations of the C#min played at the 16th fret, while the other guitar
plays something like:

E---------------------------------------------|
B-----------------12---------------12---------|
G-----13--14---------13--14-------------------|
D---------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------|

like part of a 12th fret E.

verse:
E			   A
An ending...   you twist...
   C#min         B            A	           B
...light fingers threw the ... shattered....darkness...
E			       A
No you've got... you shut me...
   C#min			   B         A             B
...cornered... kicked out... the world... alot...

pre-chorus:
E		   	    C#min
If you wanna... there's no worse...
E			   C#min
I know you... I'm still in...
B			      A
Can't take me... ...can't take me...  (2x)

F#min			 B
I'll take you... you wanna...

chorus
E					       A
You can't... (You can't...) You can't... (You can't...) (2x)
The riff over this is something like:

E---------------------------------------------|
B---5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-4-----------------|
G---------------------------------------------|
D---------------------------------------------|
A---------------------------------------------|
E---------------------------------------------|

followed by:
verse 1x
pre-chorus 1x
chorus (2x)
outro/guitar/harmonica solo (verse chords 2x, with spastic 16th fret C#min
riffing)

I think that's pretty much it! Please excuse any discrepancies/ omissions,
this is all my own work and my very first effort on this site.

all the finest!
