INTRO
G5  D5  Em  C5  x3

VERSE 1
G5     D5                         Em   C5
      I heard you crying loud,
G5                D5               Em   C5
      All the way across town
                        G5                             D5
You've been searching for that someone,
                 Em                      C5
And it's me out on the prowl
       G5          D5                    Em                    C5
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself

VERSE 2
G5           D5                       Em   C5
     Well don't get lonely now
G5            D5                      Em   C5
     And dry your whining eyes
               G5                          D5
I'm just roaming for the moment
                 Em                        C5                G5
Sleazin' my back yard so don't get so uptight
                     D5                     Em            C5
You been thinking about ditching me

CHORUS
A5                                          C5
    No time to search the world around
A5                                                      C5
     Cause you know where I'll be found

When I come around

G5  D5  Em  C5

VERSE 3

      I heard it all before
G5         D5                                  Em   C5
      So don't knock down my door
          G5                D5              Em                        C5
I'm a loser and a user so I don't need no accuser
        G5                       D5                           Em               C5
To try and slag me down because I know you're right

VERSE 4
G5         D5                      Em   C5
      So go do what you like
G5              D5                     Em   C5
      Make sure you do it wise

How to read these chord schemes

1 - chord name, 2 - chord designation, 3 - chord scheme

Chord name

There is the name of a chord before the symbols. If it's "*" added to a name, it means that this chord is played in different positions during the song.

Chord designation

There are 6 symbols in a designation, read it from left to right. The first symbol defines the thickest string (6th string), the second symbol defines 5th string and so on.

"0" means open string

"x" means this string isnt played

"Number" means number of a fret.

Example:

x02220

6th string isnt played
5th string is open
4th string is played on 2nd fret
3rd string is played on 2nd fret
2nd string is played on 2nd fret
1st string is open

Chord scheme

Imagine that you are looking at the fret while playing guitar - the closest string to your eyes is the 6th, the thickest string. There are 6 horizontal lines defines strings, the upper one is the thinnest string (1st string).
And there are 4 lines defined frets - no exact frets numbers defined.
In some schemes there is a thick line on the left - it defines the nut.

"0" means open string
"x" means this string isnt played
Fat dots mean fingers positions

Example:

G5 355xxx
