capo 3

     E minor 7Em7      G/F#        Cadd9Cadd9
I've worn out all of your records
      E minor 7Em7 G/F#        Cadd9Cadd9
I've torn out page after page
        E minor 7Em7          G/F#     Cadd9Cadd9
I have lain with the shadows you threw
                         E minor 7Em7
when you danced with the bright colored
 G/F#         Cadd9Cadd9
lights of the stage
E minor 7Em7      G/F#       Cadd9Cadd9
hey and aren't you grateful?
E minor 7Em7     G/F#         Cadd9Cadd9
say and ain't you got fun?
E minor 7Em7     G/F#         Cadd9Cadd9
being so good at what you do
E minor 7Em7     G/F#         Cadd9Cadd9
doing it right in front of everyone

riff      G/F#    Cadd9/G
everybody knows you
E minor 7Em7 G/F#        Cadd9/G
I want to know you!

(same as 1st verse and chorus)
how you roll like the rolling waters
you rise like the bright morning stars
you go fast like the freight train going so fast
and I don't even know who you are
but I would not disappoint you
if you let me kiss your mouth
if you let me get to the bottom of you
if you let me find you out

everybody knows you
nobody knows you!
everybody knows you
I want to know you!

     E minor 7Em7      G/F#        Cadd9Cadd9
o, but I, in the name of my namesake
     E minor 7Em7      G/F#        Cadd9Cadd9
am a beautiful fly on the wall of
     E minor 7Em7      G/F#    Cadd9Cadd9
your four-chambered heart-break
     E minor 7Em7      G/F#          Cadd9Cadd9
a spy in the house of your love
