Quite easy. Just listen to the song, it hasn’t even got a bridge or solo, so everythings repeating..
Verse: Bm7 / F#sus4 / D / Em7
Chorus: D / Bm7 (x3)
Dmaj7
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
