I went back to the docter
To get another shrink
I sit and tell him 'bout my weekend
But he he never betrays what he thinks

Cause it runs in the family

      E-------------------------------------------------|

Can you see, Can you see the real me
Can you see, Can you see the real me, the real me, the real me

     Repeat Interlude

Now there is a break

The Cracks between the paving stones
Like rivers of flowing vains
Strange people who know me
From behind every window pane
The girl I used to love
Lives in this yellow house
Yesterday she passed me by
She doesn't wanna know me now

    E--8-8-8----------------------------|
    B--8-8-8----------------------------|
    G--8-8-8----------------------------|
    D--8-8-8----------------------------|
    A-----------------------------------|
    E-----------------------------------|

Repeat Chorus riff

Can you see the real me, can you
Can you sdd the real me, oh yeah!

 Now it's the same main riff but a little different

    E--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--3-3------------|
    B--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--3-3------------|
    G--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--3-3------------|
    D--5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5--3-3------------|
    A----------------------------------|
    E----------------------------------|

Repeat this riff for the next verse

I ended up with a preacher
Full of lies and hate
I seemed to scare him a little
So he showed me to the golden gate

Repeat chorus riff until the song ends

Can you see the real me docter?
Can you see the real me mother?!?!

Can you see the real me me me me me me me me me

 I'm not sure this is entirely right, but it is very close.
