All chords are relative to a Capo on the 5th fret in the studio versioin, but he also puts the capo on the 3rd
or 4th in some live recordings
Matt plays the F as an Fmaj7 with an open high e (from low to high it's x33210), then a regular C chord,
into a G chord that is identical to an Fmaj7 but 2 frets up (x5543x), finishing with an Am7 played the way
you'd usually play it (x02010).

F C G Am7
Lover come over, look what I've done
F C G Am7
I've been alone so long, I feel like I'm on the run
F C G Am7
Lover come over, kick up the dust
F C G Am7
I've got a secret starting to rust
[Hook]
F C
She said, I'm looking like a bad man, smooth criminal
G Am7
She said, my spirit doesn't move like it did before
F C
She said, that I don't look like me no more, no more
G Am7
I said, I'm just tired, she said, you're just high

And I said, I saw you in the water
F C G Am7
And I said, I saw you in the water
[Verse 2]
F C G Am7

Lover come hold me, could you forget

I've got a secret, digging a ditch
[Hook]

She said, I'm looking like a bad man, smooth criminal
G Am7
She said, my spirit doesn't move like it did before

And I said, I saw you in the water
G Am7
And I said, I saw you in the water
[Bridge]
F C
Sweating all your sins out
G Am7
Putting all your thoughts back together
F C
Oh, we just don't blend now

All of my attempts seem to weather

Oh, I make you cringe now
G Am7
Don't I make you cringe
F C
Oh, I make you cringe now
G Am7
Don't I make you cringe
[Hook]
