CHORDS:
-------
   EADGBE
A (x02220)
D (xx0232)
E (022100)


One thing you need to know about the verses. You don't really
play the A chord, you just strum percussively over the muted
strings and then when the D chord comes you strum it like crazy.
Listen to it to understand what I mean.


INTRO:
------
First drums, then comes bass that plays this:
   (A)               / = slide up
G|-----------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|--5------5--5------5----5----3/4/5-|


VERSE 1:
--------
(A)
Just last night I was reminded of

just how bad it had gotten and
                       D
just how sick I have become
    (A)
But it could change with this relationship

De-deranged, we've all been through some shit
                                    D
If we think, I think this thing's begun


CHORUS:
-------
D
Oh tell me now
 A         E       D
(What do I have to do) Oh tell me now
 A         E       D
(What do I have to do) Oh tell me now
 A         E       D
(What do I have to do) Oooh,
A        D       E
Prove my love to you


VERSE 2: [play same as VERSE 1]
--------
Special favors come in thirty-one flavours
We're out of mints, pass the lifesavers
I'm dropping hints, candy for candy coated tongue
You've been so good, so very good for me
What do you think, tell me honestly
I'm wait wait wait, wait wait waiting for your call


CHORUS: [play same as first CHORUS]
-------
Oh tell me now
(What do I have to do) Yeah tell me now
(What do I have to do) Yeah tell me now
(What do I have to do) Yeah
Prove my love to you


GUITAR-SOLO:
------------
This solo is really just chords. Mainly variations of
an A chord.
                 EADGBE      EADGBE      EADGBE         EADGBE
The chords are A(xx7655), G*(xx0000), A*(xx7658) and A7(xx7685).

    A   G* A             A*            A A7 A
E|--5---0-5---5---5-5----8--8--8--8--8-5-5-5-5----
B|--5---0-5---5---5-5----5--5--5--5--5-5-8-5-5----
G|--6---0-6---6---6-6----6--6--6--6--6-6-6-6-6----
D|--7---0-7---7---7-7----7--7--7--7--7-7-7-7-7----
A|------------------------------------------------
E|------------------------------------------------

   A  G* A  G* A  G* A      A7            A* A7
E--5--0--5--0--5--0--5-5----5--5--5--5--5-8--5----|
B--5--0--5--0--5--0--5-5----8--8--8--8--8-5--8----|

Then after the solo, the bass plays the intro line and
Gordon sings this before going into the third verse:
              |
(A)
Third verse, same as the first


VERSE 3: [play like verses 1 & 2]
--------
Just last night I was reminded of
just how bad it had gotten and
just how sick I have become
But it could change with this relationship
De-deranged, we've all been through some shit
If we think, I think this thing's begun


CHORUS:
-------
D
Oh tell me now
 A         E       D
(What do I have to do) Yeah tell me now
 A         E       D
(What do I have to do) I'd do anything
 A         E       D
(What do I have to do) I'd do it all
 A         E       D
(What do I have to do) I'd do it all for you
 A         E       D
(What do I have to do) I'd climb a mountain
 A         E       D
(What do I have to do) I'd cross the ocean
 A         E       D
(What do I have to do) I'd do it all
 A         E       D
(What do I have to do) Oooh,
A        D       E        A
Prove my love to you
