***To all the die-hard Radiohead fans out there: I am sorry if my version of the song does not do justice to the original. The main reason I covered this was because of the meaning of the lyrics. I hope you enjoy it. Sorry for the few lyrical mistakes. I did intentionally leave out the "She's running out again" part. I was kind of nervous to do such a classic song, but oh well, we'll see what people thing! I hope you like it!***

This is a cover of Radiohead's, "Creep". It's not really meant to sound like the original, so I am sorry if my version ruined such a classic song. The lyrics are what have meaning to me so I wanted to mainly sing those. I think we all feel like a "Creep" at a certain point in our lives, whether we like it or not. Sometimes we feel like we don't belong, and I think the lyrics in this song do a great job of explaining that.

**In addition, I am sorry for saying the F word in this song a few times. I usually don't feel the need to leave the cursing in, but I think if you took that out of this song, the lyrics would lose some of the power. I apologize if it offends anyone!**

I chose to do this video without any nice microphones or anything like that. It's just me, the guitar, and my point-and-shoot digital camera (which has a very bad mic). The mic is very tinny so I apologize for the sound quality. Yes, this was taken in my bathroom, it's for the reverb. I hope you guys enjoy.

Chords are pretty simple. All barre chords. G, B, C, Cm

Lyrics:
When you were here before,
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel,
Your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special

But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts,
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice
when I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh

She's running out again
She's running out
She run run run run...
run... run...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep,
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doin' here?
I don't belong here

I don't belong here..
