[intro]    maj7    2x

         maj7               
You look like              A perfect fit
         maj7                      /
For a girl                in need of a tourniquet

chorus:            
But can you save me
               
Come on and save me
               
If you could save me
                        
From the ranks of the freaks
                      
Who suspect they could never love anyone

    

             maj7                      
'Cause I can tell            you know what it's like
         maj7                   /
The long farewell         of the hunger strike

[chorus]

                  
You struck me dumb 
Like   radium  mm  mm
              
Like peter pan or superman
             
You will come 
        
To save me
                 
Come on and save me
               
If you could save me
                     
From the ranks of the freaks
                      
Who suspect they could never love anyone 3x

 -maj7       2x

                  
But can you save me
               
Come on and save me
               
If you could save me
                     
From the ranks of the freaks
                      
Who suspect they could never love anyone 3x

================================================================
for electric rhythm part in  the bridge, I get this:
the electric guitar is tuned down 1/2 step to Eb

Starting with that lick before the bridge, which would now be
< = stretch up
> = release back down
+ = hammer-on


e|-------------------------------------------|
B|--14<--16>--14>--16>--14>------------------|
G|-----------------------------11------------|
D|-------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------|
(lick before bridge)

CHORDS(pick these notes out of the chord and hammer on where noted)

 You struck me dumb                    Like radium    mm  mm

                 (powerchords)  
Like peter pan or superman       You will come
                    
To save me  Come on and save me
               
If you could save me

                      +

D|--------4------------5-------------6--------------6-------------------|
A|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|----------------------------------------------------------------------|
From the ranks of the freaks who suspect they could never love anyone 3x

A regular verse at that tuning would be:
      -maj7                  
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-4--------4------4-----4------4----0---4----6-----------|
G|-4--------4------4-----4------4----1---4----6-----------|
D|-6--------5------4-----3------4----2---4----6-----------|
A|------------------------------2----2---2----8-----------|
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
  You look like            a perfect fit   etc.

That would be an arrangement to play electric guitar, tuned down 1/2 step, 
all the way thru, just playing quietly until the bridge
