Here's my version of "It's Probably Me" by: Sting (for acoustic guitar).
I've arranged this a bit different the other versions by simplifying
some of the chords, and using a few chord substitutions when possible.
Sting wrote this with Eric Clapton, so it tends sound a bit different,
but if you practice the changes it works well (eerie yet very beautiful).
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns:

Sting - It's Probably Me
[Intro-2x] EmMaj9 Em6add9 Em7add9 Em6add9
(Verse-1)
EmMaj9 Em6add9
If the night turned cold - and the stars looked down
And you hug yourself - on the cold cold ground
You wake the morning - in a stranger's coat
No one would you see
(Chorus)
You ask yourself - who'd watch for me
My only friend - who could it be
-
It's hard to say it - I hate to say it
EmMaj9 - Em6add9 - Em7add9 - Em6add9
it's probably me
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Verse-2)
EmMaj9 Em6add9
When you belly's empty - and the hunger's so real
You're too proud to beg - and too dumb to steal
You search the city - for your only friend
No one would you see
(Chorus)
You ask yourself, - who could it be
A solitary voice to speak out and set you free
I hate to say it - I hate to say it,
EmMaj9 - Em6add9 - Em7add9 - Em6add9
it's probably me
--------------------------------------------------------
[Bridge]
- -
You're not the easiest person I ever got to know
G (bass-walk-down G,F#,E) Em7
And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show
- -
Some would say I should let you go your way
You'll only make me cry
(Chorus)
If there's one guy - just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
It's hard to say it - It's hard to say it
EmMaj9 - Em6add9 - Em7add9 - Em6add9
but it's probably me
---------------------------------------------------------------
(Verse-3)
EmMaj9 Em6add9
When the world's gone crazy - and it makes no sense
There's only one voice that comes to your defence
When the jury's out and your eyes search the room
And one friendly face is all you need to see
(Chorus)
If there's one guy - just one guy
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
It's hard to say it - I hate to say it,
but it's probably me
I hate to say it - I hate to say it,
EmMaj9 - Em6add9 - Em7add9 - Em6add9 (repeat 2x)
it's probably me
