This is an arrangement aimed as an acoustic guitar
accompaniment for a solo singer.
 
CAPO: 4th fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of F#)
 
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
D5     = xx023x    F     = xx3211     G7sus2  = 3xx2x1
C6add2 = x30230    FM7   = xx3210     G6sus2  = 3xx2x0
Bm11   = x20230    F6    = xx3231     Gsus2   = 3xx23x
BbM7b5 = x10230    FM7b5 = xx3200     Gsus2/4 = 3xx21x
D5/A   = x0023x                       Gadd9   = 3xx20x
 
h = Hammer-on notes    ^ = Emphasise the beats
 
For the main riff I would use the middle and little fingers
to keep the shape on the 2nd and 3rd strings, and use the
ring finger to play the C bass, and the index to play the
B and Bb bass notes.
 
Here's two other alternative lists of chord options that could
work for the main chord progression too:
D     = x507xx    or    D5       = xx0235
Csus2 = x305xx    or    C6sus2   = x30035
Bm    = x204xx    or    Bm7#5    = x20035
Bb    = x103xx    or    BbM7add6 = x10035
D5/A  = x002xx    or    D5/A     = x00235

[Verse 1]
D5                C6sus2
Ninety nine point nine Fahrenheit degrees,
Bm11             BbM7-5             D5/A
Stable now, with rising possibili - ties,
D5               C6sus2
     It could be normal, but it isn't quite,
Bm11                BbM7-5                D5/A
     Could make you want to stay awake at night
 
[Chorus]
D5             C6sus2       Bm11          BbM7b5          D5/A
You ...seem to me ...like a man ...on the verge of burn - ing,
 
   Nine-ty nine point nine Fah -ren-heit de - grees!

[Verse 2]
D5           C6sus2           Bm11        BbM7b5  D5/A
   Pale as a candle, and your face is hot,
D5          C6sus2             Bm11                 BbM7b5 D5/A
   And if I touch you, I might get what you've got
 
[Chorus]
D5             C6sus2       Bm11          BbM7b5          D5/A
You ...seem to me ...like a man ...on the verge of burn - ing,
