Here's my version of "It's Probably Me" by: Sting (for acoustic guitar).
I arranged this song different from the other versions by simplifying
some of the chords, and using a few chord substitutions when possible.
Sting wrote this tune with Eric Clapton, so it tends to sound different
from your standard tune (eerie yet quite beautiful); If you practice the
chord changes it works quite well (try not to let the chord names scare
you off; it's honestly not as difficult as it may seem at first glance).
As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns:

Sting - It's Probably Me
[Intro]
Emmaj9Em6add9Em9 Em6add9
x2
[Verse 1]
Emmaj9 Em6add9
If the night turned cold - and the stars looked down
Em9 Em6add9
And you hug yourself - on the cold cold ground
Am7 Bm7
You wake the morning - in a stranger's coat
Em G6 Em
No one would you see
[Chorus]
Am7 Bm7
You ask yourself - who'd watch for me
Em Em/C#
My only friend - who could it be
C Cadd9 B7
-
It's hard to say it - I hate to say it
Emmaj9Em6add9Em9 Em6add9
- - -
it's probably me
[Verse 2]
Emmaj9 Em6add9
When you belly's empty - and the hunger's so real
Em9 Em6add9
You're too proud to beg - and too dumb to steal
Am7 Bm7
You search the city - for your only friend
Em G6 Em
No one would you see
[Chorus]
Am7 Bm7
You ask yourself, - who could it be
Em Em/C#
A solitary voice to speak out and set you free
C Cadd9 B7
I hate to say it - I hate to say it,
Emmaj9Em6add9Em9 Em6add9
- - -
it's probably me
[Bridge]
Am7 D Dsus4D
- -
You're not the easiest person I ever got to know
G Em7
(bass-walk-down G,F#,E)
And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show
Am7 D Dsus4D
- -
Some would say I should let you go your way
G
You'll only make me cry
[Chorus]
Am7 Bm7
If there's one guy - just one guy
Em Em/C#
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
C Cadd9 B7
It's hard to say it - It's hard to say it
Emmaj9Em6add9Em9 Em6add9
- - -
but it's probably me
[Verse 3]
Emmaj9 Em6add9
When the world's gone crazy - and it makes no sense
Em9 Em6add9
There's only one voice that comes to your defense
Am7 Bm7
When the jury's out and your eyes search the room
Em G6 Em
And one friendly face is all you need to see
[Chorus]
Am7 Bm7
If there's one guy - just one guy
Em Em/C#
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
C Cadd9 B7
It's hard to say it - I hate to say it,
Am7 A7
but it's probably me
C Cadd9 B7
I hate to say it - I hate to say it,
Emmaj9Em6add9Em9 Em6add9
- - - (repeat 2x)
it's probably me
