Almost Human

Tom: Em

                        Am
  What did I ever do to you
                                 Em  Esus4 Em
  That you should treat me this way?
                        Am
  Is it really such a crime
                             Em
  For an angel to speak his mind?
                 Esus4  Em       Am
  Anytime I'll try to shed some light
                   Em
  If I were a big boy
     Esus4     Em
  I wouldn't cry
Am                          Em
  But since I'm not a big boy
                 B7
  I'll have to cry

[Verse]
                          Am
  What did I ever do so wrong
                                 Em  Esus4 Em
  That you should cast me from grace
                            Am
  Though I love to rule in Hell here
                           Em
  How I miss the taste of Heaven
       Esus4   Em       Am
  Its soft and cool embrace
                   Em
  If I were a big boy
    Esus4  Em  Am
  I wouldn't cry
                           Em
  But since I'm not a big boy
                 B7
  I'll have to close my eyes
       B7                G
  And picture what it's like

[Chorus]
                 Ebdim
  I'm just like you
               Em
  I'm made by He
                D
  Despised by they
              G
  I'm almost me
       B7
  I'm nearly human
   Em
  Look at me
      D         D7    G
  I'm almost a human being
                 Ebdim
  I'm just like you
               Em
  I'm made by He
                D
  Despised by they
              G
  I'm almost me
       B7
  I'm nearly human
   Em
  Pity me
      D         D7    G
  I'm almost a human being

[Interlude]
Ebdim  Em   D

[Bridge]
  Am                Em        Esus4 Em
  I still remember your light
                Am
  And it was streaming down
       Em          Esus4 Em
  And burning out my eyes
Am                   Em
  If I were a big boy
    Esus4  Em  Am
  I wouldn't cry
                           Em
  But since I'm not a big boy
                 B7
  I'll have to close my eyes
       B7                G
  And picture what it's like

[Chorus]
                 Ebdim
  I'm just like you
               Em
  I'm made by He
                D
  Despised by they
              G
  I'm almost me
       B7
  I'm nearly human
   Em
  Look at me
      D         D7    G
  I'm almost a human being
                   Ebdim
  These tears are real
             Em
  I'm jealousy
                 D
  I'm spite and hate
                   G
  To the core I'm mean
       B7
  I'm nearly human
   Em
  Look at me
      D         D7    G
  I'm almost a human being

[Chorus]
                 Ebdim
  I'm just like you
               Em
  Better than He
                 D
  To Hell with they
              G
  I'm almost me
       B7
  I'm nearly human
   Em
  Pity me
      D         D7    G
  I'm almost a human being

[Interlude]

[Outro]
         G        D
  Don't touch me, oh
                        Em            B7
  I couldn't bear the thought of it, now
         G        D
  Don't touch me, oh
                         Em   B7
  I couldn't bear the strain
         G        D
  Don't touch me, oh
                        Em            B7
  I couldn't bear the thought of it, now
   G
  Touch me
   D
  Touch me
   Em       B7
  Touch me
         G
  Don't touch me
   D
  Touch me
   Em      B7
  Touch me
