I wrote that song, How You Gonna See Me Now.
And I wrote that for my wife.
Because when Cheryl and I had been married, [G] we had been married now for say three or [D] four years.
[B] And [Gbm] you have to remember now, I wasn't a drunk drunk.
I was never [A] ever like that.
I was never falling down.
Nobody had to [G] carry me home.
I was always on this golden [Ab] buzz.
Kind of Dean Martin, [D] you know.
But she had [A] never once saw me when I was [C] totally sober.
[F] How you gonna see me now?
[E] Please don't see me ugly babe.
[Dm] Cause I know I let you [Fm] down in [Bb] oh so many ways.
[Bbm] How you gonna see me [G] now?
[F] Since we've been on our [Dm] own.
[G] How you gonna love the [Bm] man [C] when the man gets [E] home?
Our music was really [N] crazy at that point.
We were more gang than we were a band.
And we [D] were kind of a circus freak thing.
[Bb] And then all of a [Db] sudden there's a white chicken on stage.
[Eb] I can't think of [F] anybody that brings a chicken to a show.
On purpose.
[Bb] We still got a long [G] way to go.
I picked it up and threw it in the audience.
I [F] figured it would fly, it's a bird, you know.
And the audience, somebody would grab it and take it home and have a pet.
They tore it to pieces.
Really to pieces.
They threw it back on stage and the next thing you know it was Alice Cooper destroys chicken
and kills it.
And that was all of a sudden now [B] I was the great chicken killer.
So I think I became the definitive villain in rock and roll at that point.
[C] It's a character that you [A] go and you actually get ready and you put the makeup on and you
become that character.
The trick is to leave him up there.
I didn't know when I was [Gb] supposed to be Alice and when I wasn't supposed [D] to be.
All I knew was that they couldn't [N] coexist.
I mean at that time I didn't think they could coexist.
I thought I have to pick one.
[A] And the Alice Cooper character was the more popular one so I was trying to be Alice all the time.
[Eb] And that just did not work.
I mean that's what killed Jim [D] Morrison, that's what killed Jimi Hendrix, that's what killed Janice.
They all tried to be their character off stage.
I took drugs all the time [F] back then.
And I was [Bb] drinking every night with Keith Moon [Fm] and John Lennon and Harry Nelson and
you know all the [F] Hollywood vampires.
And if I was in New York it was Lou Reed [Cm] and the Dolls and all those people.
So [F] there was never a break from [Bb] drinking.
And [Cm] it finally caught up with me.
[Bm] And finally [Fm] my body said enough.
I got up one morning and threw up blood [D] all over the floor.
And that was God saying, party's over.
And my wife went, let's go.
[G] I'm heading for the west, [D] straightened out my head, [Bm] but my old heart [G] is still amiss.
[Gbm] Yes I'm worried honey, [G] yes that's natural though.
It's [Abm] like I'm waiting for a welcome sign, [D] like a hobo in [A] the snow.
And I went to the hospital and I said, okay look, I'm not going in here to slow down.
You know, people go to the, they go, well I'm going to go cool out for a while.
I said, I'm coming in here, if I'm coming in here to this place and getting a blood
test every day and listening to these lectures and talking to a psychiatrist, I'm going
to do it once.
I'm not going to do it twice.
And so I went in and I, and when I came out I was [C] totally straight.
[F] Are you going to see me now?
[E] Please don't see me ugly babe.
[Dm] Cause I know I let you down, you know, [Bb] so many ways.
[Bbm] Are you going to see me [G] now?
[F] Since we've been on our [Dm] own.
[G] Are you going to love the [Bm] man, [C] when the man gets home?
So [G] this was going to be the first time coming out of the hospital that I was going to meet
my wife totally sober.
And I thought, what if she doesn't like me?
Cause that was a thought that you had in your head, you know, I mean, you're, you're in
love with each other.
You're married for three or four years.
And then I went, but what if she doesn't like this version of me?
[Bb] Just like the [E] first time, we're just [A] strangers again.
[D] I might've [Gm] flown out of style.
[C] In the [F] place I've been.
[Fm] [Bb] It's just like the first [E] time.
I'll be [A] shaking inside.
[D] When I walk [Gm] in your door.
There'll be no [G] place to hide.
I had to [D] let people know that there were two of [F] me.
There was that one, [C] the one that you're going to pay to see, [F] and he's going to really entertain you tonight.
[C] But when you see me on the street, I might be at the movies.
I might [Dm] be playing golf.
I might be, [Bb] I have a regular life.
[F] I'm in church every Sunday.
[Bb] I studied the Bible.
I, you know, another, it's my real [Am] life is a whole other thing, but I get to play this
[G] character every night and I really like playing [B] him.
And there's nothing in [C] my religion that says I can't do that.
[F] Cause I know [Dm] I left you down.
[F] Lost road [Bb] in many ways.
You're going to [Bbm] see me now.
[G] Since we've been on [Bb] our own.
I ain't [G] going to
And I wrote that for my wife.
