        I've tried best I can to transcribe the piano part for this song for
guitar.  It's a pretty smooth sweet song to play.  The interlude is described
without tab, unfortuantely I have too much homework to do to tab that out,
but it's pretty simple.

        The interlude (with is also the ending) is simply alternating between
the C and G chords.  Finger pick them out in a similar fashion as above.

Second Verse:

I want somebody who cares
for me passionately
with every thought and with every breath
someone who'll help me see things in a different light
all the things i detest i will almost like
I don't want to be tied to anyones strings
I'm carefully trying to stay clear of those things
but when I'm asleep, i want somebody
who will put their arms around me kiss me tenderley
though things like this, make me sick
in a case like this
I'll get away with it

about the wo[D]rld w[D7]e li[G]ve in and li[D]fe in g[G]eneral
though my v[G]iews may be wrong they may e[Bm]ven be perverted
she'll h[Am]ear me out and won't [D]easily be con[Am]verted
to m[G]y way of thinking in fact she'll [Am]often disagree
at the [G]end of it all she will u[Bm]nderstand me
