Csus4: X33010 (basically a C, where you play the third fret, D string with your pinky. The section where he
uses this, he just alternates between C and Csus4)
[Verse]
C F G C
It's starting to come to me, your new career would probably end like this
C G
All that professional lipstick pressed into an amateur kiss
C
Farewell to the studied lines and carefully broken hearts
The overpowering perfume and the glimpse of her garter
[Pre-Chorus]
C G C F
Mingling with the sweet smoldering scent of the martyr
[Chorus]
C G F
Well it's starting to come to me
C G C
Starting to come to me
[Verse 2]
C F G C
So you began to recognize the well-dressed man that everybody loves
C G
It started when you chopped off all the fingers of those pony skin gloves
C
Then you cut a hole out where the lovelight used to shine
Your tears of pleasure equal measure crocodile and brine
[Pre-Chorus]
C G C F
You try to laugh it off saying "I knew all the time...
[Chorus]
C G F
But it's starting to come to me
C G C
Starting to come to me
[Bridge]
G D
Sometimes you bring me down to play reluctant confidant
D G
You say you may reward him if he gives you what you want
C D
But these are days to treasure and to hold
G
They’re much too precious to be sold
C D
You'd probably play the pirate if you weren't
G F
so busy digging up the gold
[Verse 3]
C F G C
Now you could tell he wanted you 'cause you could almost taste it on his breath
C G
But you always cheated life just like the bold daredevil cheated death
C F G C
Incidentally, late last night your understudy finally got what you deserve
C G
In private she's seductive but in public she's prim, porcelain and nervous
C
Afraid someone will recognize the shame in her eyes
You've still got your dignity or the next best disguise
C G C F
You never know when to say no and when to compromise
C G F
But it's starting to come to me
C G F
Starting to come to me (come to me, come to me)
C G C
Starting to come to me
