Verse: 
E (with main riff played by organ, guitar 1 enters with chords) 
Come on in baby, guess you want to touch me now 
You want to put your hands on my face, and 
Tell me you love me, tell me you need me 
Don't say that you love me 
Don't say anything, 'cause 
 
A 
I am not that kind of man 
I'm much less than you think I am

So many people are just like Jesus, 
They drag all this weight to get to anything better than 
Where they've been, or where they are 
Well tell me what the hell's the reason when we're never getting 
anywhere, but 
 
A 
You want me to say "Hey, it's OK." 
But I'm so dizzy, baby, just get the hell away from me 
 
Chorus: 
E   B       A       * (guitar 2 plays fill 1) 
How can you breathe? 
E   B       A 
How can you see? 
E   B            A                      E  *(guitar 2 plays fill 2) 
    I can't even sleep when you're with me 
 
 Fill 1           Fill 2

Verse: (organ and guitar 2 play simile to first verse) 
I'm sick of summertime, 
I know all of the best things in life are unkind 
I could be everything, I could be anything, but 
All the time I think that if I only had a pair if wings... 
 
But you won't touch me 
Just take your hands off me, don't touch me baby 
I can't receive it, you see... 
 
How can you see? 
How can you breathe? 
I can't feel a thing when you're with me
