[Intro]
| Gmaj9 | Dmaj9 | (x3)
| E9sus4 | E9sus4 |
 
[Verse 1]
Gmaj9     Dmaj9
I remember... the night we met
Gmaj9               Dmaj9
That night we sat... entwined
       Gmaj9
Under summer skies
               Dmaj9
I looked into your eyes... and
E9sus4
You looked into mine... You said
Gmaj9
"You're not like the rest" / (Oleander holly)
      Dmaj9
And I nodded
Gmaj9                          Dmaj9
"No one understands me" you said / (Crimson feet of Collie)
                   Gmaj9
And I nodded once again / (Beautiful and lonely)
                                  Dmaj9
As if to agree that all men are indeed the same / (My baby)
                 E9sus4
Somehow, you said... I was different / (The only one)
 
[Chorus] (sung)
                Gmaj9  Dmaj9
Who really understands me
                 Gmaj9 Dmaj9
Floating hand in hand we
               Gmaj9
Whisper in the moonlight
    Dmaj9
And say that I'm
    E9sus4
The things you want to see
 
[Verse 2]
Gmaj9             Dmaj9
 For months on end / (Kody and her star child)
                 Gmaj9                  Dmaj9
I maintained a veneer of sincere interest / (Goddess of the moonlight)
                           Gmaj9
As if I were listening as you relived / (Hold me in the morning)
  Dmaj9                  E9sus4
Every page of self-help and new age that you'd read / (And tell me I'm the only one alive)
       Gmaj9                Dmaj9
And... I went in for the kill / (Who really understands you)
                       Gmaj9                              Dmaj9
I'd read the same books: I learned to ape the motions of a sensitive human being / (Tell me pretty stories)
           Gmaj9       Dmaj9
And we were oh, so happy / (Say you understand me)
                           E9sus4
But you found things to fix / (My baby)
 
And I knew it was time / (The things you want to see)
 
To move on / (But I could never be)
 
[Refrain](sung)
Gmaj9 Dmaj9
        In love
Gmaj9 Dmaj9
        In love
Gmaj9 Dmaj9 E9sus4
 
[Interlude]
| Gmaj9 | Gmaj9 | F#m/G | F#m/G | (x2)
 
[Bridge] (pound the hell out of the bass notes)
Gmaj9
  So now you have me completely figured out
Gmaj9
You feel sorry for me... I can't express my feelings!
Gmaj9
I can't tell the truth!
       Dmaj9
We are all alike.
                                Gmaj9
At puberty I was sworn to secrecy
Gmaj9
By the international brotherhood
Gmaj9
Of lying, fickle males!
Gmaj9
I can't tell you anything
               Dmaj9
And... I... can't... commit!
Dmaj9
You're right! I can't commit!
Dmaj9
To *you*.
 
[Verse 4]
Gmaj9                Dmaj9
I will always treasure / (Hold me in the morning)
Dmaj9
Our time together / (Tell me pretty stories)
Gmaj9                                         Dmaj9
I don't feel enough of anything to harbor the kind of disdain
                   Gmaj9
That you'll maintain / (Say that you're the only one)
Gmaj9
You painted me into what you
Dmaj9
Wanted to see / (My baby)
           E9sus4
That's fine!
E9sus4
But you will never know me. / (But I could never be)
 
[Refrain] (sung)
Gmaj9 Dmaj9
        In love
Gmaj9 Dmaj9
        In love
Gmaj9 Dmaj9 E9sus4
 
[Chorus] (sung)
        Gmaj9 Dmaj9
Oleander hol-ly
               Gmaj9 Dmaj9
Crimson feet of Col-lie
              Gmaj9
Beautiful and lonely
   Dmaj9
My baby
    E9sus4
The only one
                Gmaj9
Who really understands me...
