REEL ME IN (Kim Richey, Bill Bottrell, Birdie, & Brian MacLeod)
---------------------------------------------------------------
[These are the recorded chords; if you want to play it on the guitar,
 it will of course be much easier to play it in Em with a capo on 3!]
[D7(b13) reads "D7, flat 13th"; it's a D7 chord with a B-flat added;
 if you play in Em, it's B7(b13), which is x21203 or x21002.]

Gm          C7                 Eb                     D7(b13)
  Tell me what you're gonna do, and I'll believe you once again
Gm                C7          Eb                      D7(b13)
  Don't let this be the battle that you're afraid to win
Gm              C7                     Eb      D7(b13)
  You sit there with your visions, your tonic and your gin
Gm         C7              Eb             D7(b13)
  Tattoo scenes of paradise all over my skin

Ebmaj7               Ebmaj7   Dm              Dm
  And I'll take the fall,       you take the ride
Ebmaj7           Ebmaj7      Dm       Dm - D7
  I'll take the hit, and you let it slide

Gm       C7    Eb       D7(b13)
Reel me in,    reel me in
Gm       C7    Eb       D7(b13)
Reel me in,    reel me in

I'm still in love, I'm still in fear, there's something in your eyes
I don't know why they're so intense when you intend to lie
l could say this is the last time, meaning every word
Why give into reason when love is so absurd

And I'll take the fall, you take the ride
I'll take the hit, and you let it slide
Reel me in, reel me in
Reel me in, reel me in

And I'll take the fall, you take the ride
I'll take the hit, and you let it slide
Reel me in, reel me in
Reel me in, reel me in
