E

[Verse 1]
B F#
I see you getting fit
E
I can’t make sense of it
B F#
At night, you roll up your jeans
E
And pull on your velveteen
B F#
Tonight you’re on the stairs
E
What are you doing there?
B F#
Take off your lethargy
E B
And down the bannister you slide

[Chorus]
E
Who is she?
B F#
Because I know that it can’t be me
B E
Who is she?
B F#
Because I know that it can’t be me

[Verse 2]
B F#
A closetful of lace
E
Acquired recently
B F#
Who am I to debase
E
In this economy?
B F#
Is she a perfect ten?
E
Have you found Christ again?
B F#
You tell me you don’t have the time
E B
To cop to it and vanish in the night

[Chorus]
E
Who is she?
B F#
Because I know that it can’t be me
B E
Who is she?
B F# G#m
Because I know that it can’t be me

[Bridge]
F# E
You fell away and I know how it all boils down
G#m
You hesitate, maintain charade
E F# A F# A F#
And I fall to the bottle, the bottom again
A F# A
We used to tell each other everything
F# A
And now we’re passing ships in night
F# A F# A
We used to tell each other all the lies
F# A
And in a fairly civil way
F# B
Whatever gets you through the night

[Chorus]
E
Who is she?
B F#
Because I know that it can’t be me
B E
Who is she?
B F# B
Because I know that it can’t be me
G#m F#
Who is she?
F# B
‘Cause I know that it can’t be me
E B
I know that it can’t be me
F# B
I, I know that it can’t be me

[Outro]
E
(Who is she?)
F# B
I know that it can’t be me
E
(Who is she?)
F# B
I know that it can’t be
