From: Tom Petty 
 Terrorvision are a one guitar band, but most of their stuff is
 recorded with two guitars set up slightly differently playing much
 the same thing. Hence, the following transcription is an arrangement
 for one guitar only, to simplify things. If you want to separate the
 guitar parts, listen to the album (and if you haven't already done
 this, why not?).
 Enjoy

 Lyrics:
 
 You know I couldn't be me if it wasn't for you
 I feel like shit and look like plastic but I'll get through
 You know it's plain to see what's going to do
 As long as it don't get too drastic then we can't lose
 
 Don't blame the middleman, come to me
 I'll tell you what I can: all you need
 Cut out the middleman, wait and see.
 
 It was you that told me the aliens had landed
 And it was you that told me the end had just begun
 
 
 
 But now we're in this thing together 
 You can't escape I've got you trapped deep inside
 You said you'd stay with me forever
 Where are you now when I need you as my alibi?
 
 You left me all alone in my hour of need
 I tried to explain the situation, but they don't believe me
 
 
 
 Doodleoot, doodleoot, doodleoot, come to me
 Doodleoot, doodleoot, doodleoot, all you need
 Doodleoot, doodleoot, doodleoot, wait and see
