Creep
                             Stone Temple Pilots

This is the intro part.  I just used the basics, he is strumming but I just
wrote down the accents.  That Bsus4 might be called something else but just
for the sake of calling it something I called it Bsus4. ---> 

    C             Bsus4     E       ^  EsusG   C      ^    Bsus4    E(hold)
             ^

:---3-----3--3-:--2--2---:-----------:------:--3---3--3-:--2--2--:---------

This is the verse.  Just keep repeating this until you get to the end of the
verse where he just stays on E.  In all of these E chords he adds G(1st string
3rd fret) on the off beats...listen for it.  

    E    E    C   Bsus4   E    E      C    Bsus4

This is the next part, whatever you want to call it...bridge I guess.  The last
two bars are not just C and D chords.  The C is fingered differently.  Use your 
fourth finger for the C, your third finger for the E and your second finger for
the high C.  To go up to the D from there just slide your hand up two frets and
bar the second fret.  I realize it would be just as easy to play a normal first
position C with a first position D but this sounds better.

     G           Am         E          G           Am       E

This, finally, is the chorus.  This is what I got out of it anyway.  The chords
are simple so I'll write the lead.  Now, I might have made a mistake in this
part, If so please message me and tell me so I can fix it.  Keep playing the
first two bars until the last part of the chorus.  The only difference is the 
last three notes.  

                                         end part -->

Lyrics:

Forward yesterday, makes me want to stay
What they said was real, makes me want to steal
Living under house, yes I'm living I'm a mouse
All I got is time, got no meaning just a rhyme

Take time with a wounded hand, cause It likes to heal
Take time with a wounded hand, guess I like to steal
Take time with a wounded hand, cause it likes to heal, I like to steal

I'm half the man I used to be (yes I feel as the sun, it fades to grey)
I'm half the man I used to be 
I'm half the man I used to be
Half the man I used to be, Half the man I used to be

Feeling Uninspired, think I'll start a fire
Everybody run, Bobby's got a gun
Think you're kind'a neat, then she tells me I'm a creep
Friends don't mean a thing, guess I'll leave it up to me
