(ver. 1)
Smashing Pumpkins
Pretty song, easy to play.
There's some sort of phaser going on, but it sounds nice acoustically, too.
Intro:
(you can throw in quick 9th notes in here and there on the C's for variety...same goes for the verses)
|D|D|D|D|D|Gmaj7|Am|C|

   D              Gmaj7         Am        C
By starlight I'll kiss you and promise to be your one and 
D     Gmaj7 Am C
only.
     D             Gmaj7     Am           C
I'll make you feel happy and leave you to be lost in 
D     Gmaj7 Am C
mine.
D                Gmaj7 Am             C (Emphasised downstrokes on Am and C)
And where will we go,    what will we do?
Am        D
Soon said I, will 
D     Gmaj7        Am                C
know.          And are you just like me?
D          Gmaj7      Am                C   Am (Emphasised; cut the
Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me?     F short to make room)
D         Gmaj7           Am            C
Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas.
D          Gmaj7      Am                C
Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me?  And
Am   D        D                C
all along, we knew we'd carry on
Am        D      D Gmaj7 Am C
Just to belong.
   D           Gmaj7        Am          C
By starlight I know you, as lovely as a wish granted
D      Gmaj7 Am C
true.
   D             Gmaj7     Am              C
My life has been empty, my life has been untrue.
Am           D            D            C
And does she really know, who I really am?
Dm           G (Hold, maybe give it a slow upstroke or something)
And does she really know me?
   D    Gmaj7   Am                C
At last.....and are you just like me?
D          Gmaj7      Am                C    Am (As above)
Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me?
D         Gmaj7            Am            C
Her eyes, her eyes were as vacant as the seas.
D          Gmaj7      Am                C
Dead eyes, dead eyes, are you just like me?
D  Gmaj7  Am                C
Oooohhh...are you just like me?
(Fade and repeat.  The words vary a bit, there's a lot of "ooohhs", etc...)
