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]
