 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]
