C F
If you come to find me affable
C G
Build a replica for me
C F
Would the idea to you be laughable
C G
Of a pale facsimile?
C F
So will you come to burn an effigy?
C G
It should keep the flies away
C F
And when you long to burn this effigy
C G Am D Dm G
It should be of the hours that slip away, slip away
F Am G
It could be you, it could be me
F
Working the door, drinking for free
Am G
Carrying on with your conspiracies
F
Filling the room with a sense of unease
G C Am
Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone
F G C Am
Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time alone
F G
When one has spent too much time alone
C F
So will you come to burn my effigy?
C G
It should keep the flies away
C F
If you long to burn an effigy
F C G Am D Dm G
It should be of a man whose has lost his way, slips away
F Am G
It could be you, it could be me
F
Working the door, drinking for free
Am G
Carrying on with your conspiracies
Am F
Filling the room with a sense of unease
G C Am
Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone
F G C Am
Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time alone
F G
When one has spent too much time alone
