Down On Me (by The Cult)
I love this song, pity it s just a demo. It can be played with acoustic guitar
although chorus (and pre-chorus) are 5th with distortion.

INTRO
x2
The poet s head is dead
His words have been misread
And the cynic s lips are dry
His vulture tongue obsessed
()
You gotta love the earth
Don t burn my wings
Too close to the sun
CHORUS
What the hell am I supposed to do
When you re pushing hard on me
who the hell am I supposed to be
When you re bleeding all over me
()
God knows I m good
So misunderstood
Coming to you Ah-ah
I m down on my own
No spirit unknown
That s why I m supposed to believe in you
()
I love the earth
Don t burn my wings
Too close to the sun
(CHORUS)
What the hell am I supposed to do
When you re pushing hard on me
who the hell am I supposed to be
When you re bleeding all over me
Said it before
Sayin it again
()
Holy fools yea
x2
(CHORUS)
What the hell am I supposed to do
When you re pushing hard on me
who the hell am I supposed to be
When you re bleeding hard for me
What are you gonna do when the light gets in your eye
You re gonna find that there s--there s life outside
Who am I supposed to be
When you re so hard, hard on me
OUTRO

Oh the poet s head is dead
His words have been misread
The cynic s lips are dry
His vulture tongue obsessed
()
And he wants to know that God knows I m good...
