    Anyone who actually has a taste in music will understand that this "drugged up, skinny wreck" is in fact, one of the greatest British musicians, ever. Despite the bad public image, Pete Doherty is an amazing poet cross rocker. He is a real English music icon.

    I knew every word of this song, yet until I heard this (originally around 6years ago, and I keep coming back) I never truly appreciated it for the touching, emotional love song it is.

    For those who were looking for tabs, I *think* he is playing tuned down a whole step, and has also transposed it down half a step (confusing!)
    So to play it in standard tuning, the chords would be A E and D for the verses, then A E Fm Bm in the chorus. This sounds about right!

    You see, the fact is we don't know how all these men would have been without drugs. Maybe they would've been even greater than they actually are. Or maybe drugs didn't change anything, and this is how they're meant to be.
    Peter Doherty is pure genius by the way, I love you Peter.

    if you don't want to deal with the tuning business its
    verse: Bb / F / Eb / F / Eb / Gm / F
    chorus: Bb / F / Gm / Cm / Bb / F
    the "every day" bit is : Eb / Dm / Eb / Gm play that twice but on the second time strum the Gm for one bar and throw in an F. like Eb / Gm/F

    [Verse 1]
    Desert loving in your eyes all the way
    If I listened to your lies, would you say
    I'm a man without conviction
    I'm a man who doesn't know?
    How to sell a contradiction
    You come and go, you come and go
    [Hook]
    Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon
    You come and go, you come and go
    Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
    Red gold and green, red gold and green
    [Verse 2]
    Didn't hear your wicked words every day
    And you used to be so sweet, I heard you say
    That my love was an addiction
    When we cling, our love is strong
    When you go, you're gone forever
    You string along, you string along
    [Hook]
    [Bridge]
    Every day is like survival
    You're my lover, not my rival
    Every day is like survival
    You're my lover, not my rival
    [Verse 3]
    I'm a man (a man) without conviction
    I'm a man (a man) who doesn't know
    How to sell (to sell) a contradiction
    You come and go, you come and go
    [Hook]
