Em                     G 
DO YOU MEAN THIS HORNY CREEP 

SET UPON WEARY FEET 

WHO LOOKS IN NEED OF SLEEP 

THAT DOESN'T COME 
Em                     G 
THIS TWISTED, TORTURED MESS 

THIS BED OF SINFULNESS 

WHO'S LONGING FOR SOME REST 

AND FEELING NUMB 
 
(Bridge) 
Em7  Em6   Em7  Em6         Em 
WHAT DO    YOU EXPECT OF ME 
Em7  Em6   Em7  Em6         Em 
WHAT IS IT YOU WANT 
Em7  Em6   Em7  Em6         Em 
WHATEVER YOU'VE PLANNED FOR ME 
A                G       F#       Em 
I'M NOT THE ONE 
 

Em ( G ) 
A VICIOUS APPETITE 

VISITS ME EACH NIGHT 

AND WON'T BE SATISFIED 

WON'T BE DENIED 
Em ( G ) 
AN UNBEARABLE PAIN 

A BEATING IN MY BRAIN 

THAT LEAVES THE MARK OF CAIN 

RIGHT HERE INSIDE 
 

Em7   Em6   Em7  Em6       Em 
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO 
Em7   Em6   Em7  Em6       Em 
WHEN EVERYTHING THAT I'VE DONE 
Em7   Em6   Em7  Em6       Em 
IS LEADING ME TO CONCLUDE 
A                 G      F#       
I'M NOT THE ONE 
 
(Chorus) 
E                   A      G 
WHATEVER I'VE DONE 
F                                          Cm     B 
  I'VE BEEN STARING DOWN THE BARREL OF A GUN 
 

Em7   Em6   Em7  Em6               Em 
IS THERE SOMETHING YOU NEED FROM ME 
Em7   Em6   Em7  Em6               Em 
ARE YOU HAVING YOUR FUN 
Em7   Em6   Em7  Em6               Em 
I NEVER AGREED TO BE 
A               G      F#       
YOUR HOLY ONE 

 
Em                 A      G 
WHATEVER I'VE DONE 
F                                         Cm     B 
I'VE BEEN STARING DOWN THE BARREL OF A GUN
