G#sus4
I'm not saying it was your fault
E                                 G#/A#
Although you could have done more
          B     B/F#7
Oh you're so naive yet so
G#sus4
How could this been done?
E                            G#/A#
By such a smiling sweetheart
    B                B/F#7
Ohh I'm just a sweet and pretty face
G#sus4
In such an ugly world
E                      G#/A#
Something so beautiful
         B          B/F#7
Ohh that everytime I look inside.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
E           B            D#m7
I know, she knows that im not fond of asking
E                     B                      D#m7
True or false, it may be... Well, she's still out to get me.
E              G#m           D#m7

Very good but I'd Play G#m then E like this first finger barre at 4th fret then C Major Chord shape with other fingers to play the E Major chord, Agree with the G#/A# chord you use and then BMajor and change to E- 7 B- 7 G- 9 D- 7 A- 9 E- 7
