CREEP
by 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. —>

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.

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.

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.

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
