  Play this part twice during 
chorus.  On second time throug 
chords, this
  sounds real nice if you play each 
succesive chord louder so that the
  tension builds
  to a climax at Ami and then you 
pause and go back to Cmaj7-C verse.

  This F* chord is not exact, sounds
 like C/D combo but I am not sure
  what it is so I cheat by holding 
the F which works in the key.
  Suggestions would be appreciated.

Nice transition that J plays; really
 impresses your friends!:
The transition includes some real 
simple eighth note picking
 that goes from C to G and walk down
 to C/Cmaj7:

B|---------------3/5-5-5-5-5-5-3-
G|---0-0-------------------------
D|-------2-0---------------------

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
I wanna help you
But, I sense you're riding pretty 
low
Well I got that feeling
when your hair hits the ceiling
Something Babe
you oughta know

Chorus:
I won't cry if you walk by
But if we both kinda stumble
Maybe I'll say hi
Thats my best
I never try that much
'Cause I'm scared of feeling
That healing touch

you gotta get through
my maze and pass every test
'Cause i choosin' one love
to tatoo across my chest

Transition fill.
Verse 2:
Now the time has come
I ain't gonna fester no more   /* 
Perhaps the best lines by J
Let the world be free
of my disease
I never knew a rubber doll     /* 
Perhaps the second best line by J?
would be so hard to please

Chorus:
now I'm reachin' out
One last burst before i retract
No one will know
until I finally let go
Of the one thing
I ain't gonna ever get back
