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 k*ll / (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)

        In love

        In love

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

Who really understands me..
