This is my first tab, please be kind. The original version on here I think was closer to
the original recording of the Rocky Horror Cast, but this version sounds closer to the
Glee soundtrack, and it's a slightly different range for those who can't sing the
original version (Like Myself.)
P.S: Makes a great busking song. Everyone knows the chorus.
----------
Chords in brackets are optional. D chord in the verse (between Em and G) is only a
pass-through chord. It lasts about one upstroke (when I play) and just adds a little umf.

G Em (D)
My head used to swim from the perfume I smelled,

my hands kind of fumbled with her white plastic belt.

NOTE 1 - At the key change, if you don't want to play the bar chords and continue with
the basics, move up to capo 4 and continue to play the previous chorus chords. I have put
the bar chords here for people who don't want to move the capo mid-song.
