C5                      F5
If you come to find me affable
        C5           G5
Build a replica for me
          C5              F5
Would the idea to you be laughable
     C5           G5
Of a pale facsimile?
            C5               F5
So will you come to burn an effigy?
          C5               G5
It should keep the flies away
             C5                 F5
And when you long to burn this effigy
                    C5               G5           A5    D5    D5    G5
It should be of the hours that slip away, slip away
F5           A5               G5
It could be you, it could be me
            F5                     
Working the door, drinking for free
         A5                    G5
Carrying on with your conspiracies
            F5                      
Filling the room with a sense of unease
           G5                       C5    A5   
Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone
F5                   G5                                 C5      A5
Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time alone
F5                           G5
When one has spent too much time alone

C5                            F5
So will you come to burn my effigy?
C5                          G5
It should keep the flies away
C5                       F5
If you long to burn an effigy
F5                 C5                       G5          A5    D5    D5    G5
It should be of a man whose has lost his way, slips away

F5           A5               G5
It could be you, it could be me
            F5                    
Working the door, drinking for free
         A5                    G5
