Intro:      E     F#     G#     C#mx 2
              C#m  C#m/C  
She don't really want my love, 
But she wEon't set me fF#ree, she wants to hAold meG#  
                 C#m  C#m/C  
She's gonna make me blow my mind, 
If I dEon't get aF#way, my Doctor tAold me G#  
I'm wF#malkin' around talkin' to myself
I don't know where I'm at, half the tG#ime 
I F#mlook at her picture, I see her face, 
I think of what she is, and I start cG#ryin'
Chorus:
EGasligF#ht, that oG#ught to be her name, 'cuz she's evC#merybody's flame
EGasligF#ht, you can tG#urn her on to the lC#mevel you desire
EGasligF#ht, she'll lG#ight you up and C#mset you a' fire 
EGasligF#ht, you bG#etter be cool or you'll C#mwind up a fool like me
There has got to be a way
To change that girl, you know how much I need her
She knows what she's got on me, 
And she knows, I can't bring myself to leave her
I'm walkin' around talkin' to myself
I don't know where I'm at, half the time 
I look at her picture, I see her face, 
I think of what she is, and I start cryin'

You may want to try transposing up 3 semitones (start on Em) then the Em/D# is an easier 021000. 
Either way, using barre chords sounds cooler.
