Intro (acoustic) D Gm D Gm D Intro (full band) Em F#m G A D 3xs and hold on last D
How many times can you jump out of the cupboard
Before someone gets suspicious or someone gets discovered
*verse 2 - same* They commit blue murder along union avenue Then they sell you souvenir matches Nightclubs full of grave robbers from Memphis, Tennessee And Las Vegas body snatchers
And he's carrying a warning Can't you see how his eyes glint Keep you bloody hands off my life Your affectionate fingerprint
*same as first chorus except no D and Dsus2 on acoustic version* Oh I wish you could see Quite how much you could mean to me You worthless thing If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome I might pay this kings ransom You worthless thing
All the cars and pills and girls
Who tore his shirt to tatters
Do you know how tall he was
(Em
Cause that is all that really matters
Do you know his mother's last name
Do you think that he's divine
You've seen the film
(Em
You've read the book
(Em F#m G Em [F#m hold])
You're drinking vintage Elvis Presley wine
*verse 3 - same* Bored out of your tiny mind while life is twice as large They'll cut her down to size on television She's available and beautiful, but with more time to devote They're going to take this cable now And stick it down your throat So this is an obituary Which should be right and fitting For every clock work cat and Conceivable kitten
* same as other chorus 2 with noted exceptions) Oh I wish you could see Quite how much you could mean to me You worthless thing If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome I might pay this kings ransom You worthless thing
Full band fade on (Em F#m G A D) Acoustic
Aaahhh You worthless thing Aaahhh You worthless thing
