Quite easy. Just listen to the song, it hasn’t even got a bridge or solo, so everythings repeating..

Bm
 
Bm *guitar break*
So hold your head, and hold your tongue
 
But only say what you have to
 
Bm7      F#sus4         D
And as a child yes I dreamed
 
           Em7                 Bm7
Of holding her in the silver screen
 
             F#sus4              D
She loved her man but loved him twice
 
           Em7              Bm7
I wish I'd been that passenger
 
      F#sus4       D
Having fun, fly my kite
 
             Em7                   Bm7
The devil inside won't control my life
 
          F#sus4          D
Too much love, so little hate
 
             Em7                   Bm7
The devil inside won't control my fate
 
 
        D             Bm7
Oh, if only, if only
 
         D               Bm7
Oh, he wasn't so lonely
 
           D                    Bm7
He'd have someone to play with
 
            maj7
Instead of bombing our neighbours
 
Bm7     F#m7   D   Em7
Yeah, yeah...
 
 
(verse chords:)
 
So here I go to see the world
 
With my eyes and with my soul
 
And too much love, so little hate
 
The devil inside won't control my fate
 
 
(Chorus chords:)
 
Oh, if only, if only
 
Oh, he wasn't so lonely
 
He'd have someone to play with
 
Instead of bombing our neighbours
 
Dm
Yeah, yeah...
 
Dm7
Yeah!
 
 
Bm *guitar breakes again*
So hold your head and run my time
 
The what of life no man can rhyme
 
Bm7       etc. (verse)
So here we are and here we bleed
 
To be a victim there's no need
 
Having fun, I never fight
 
The devil inside controls my life
 
Too much love so little hate
 
The devil inside controls my fate
 
 
(Chorus 2x)
 
Oh, if only, if only
 
Oh, he wasn't so lonely
 
He'd have someone to play with
 
Instead of bombing our neighbours
 
 
Oh, if only, if only
 
Oh, he wasn't so lonely
 
He'd have someone to play with
 
Instead of bombing our neighbours
