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
