Verse 1:

If you could only see me

G C FaddG C

And know exactly who I am

You wouldn't want to be me

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

G FaddG

He's King Midas with a curse

He's King Midas in reverse

G FaddG

He's King Midas with a curse

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

He's not the man to hold your trust

Bm(maj7) Bm7 E7

Everything he touches turns to dust in his hands

Nothing he can do is right

Bm(maj7) Bm7 E7

He'd even like to sleep at night, but he can't

Verse 4:

I wish someone would find me

And help me gain control

Before I lose my reason

And my soul
