Tom: A5

Intro: D5  A5  D5  A5

A5                          F5      C5
How does it feel now you've been undressed
     D5         C5             G5      C5
by a man with a mind like the gutter press
E5       A5         D5         G5      D5
So disappointed to find it's no big sin
G5     D5       G5     G#5
Lying skin to skin
Chorus:

D5   A5   D5  A5       (lil riff)
Shot with his own gun
D5  A5  D5 A5       (lil riff)
Now dad is keeping mum
D5   A5           C5      (end riff)  
Shot with his own gun    e--0-0-0--1---
                         B--1-1-1--1---
                         G--1-1-1--1---
                         D---------0---
                         A-------------

Ab5  F#5  Eb5         F#5          D5           D+ Bb5   F5
Now somebody has to pay for the one who got away
A5                        F5        C5
What's on his mind now is anyone's guess
D5         C5          G5       C5
Losing his touch with each caress
E5              A5              D5    G5
Spending ev'ry evening looking so appealing
   D5             G5
He comes without warning
D5              G5   G#5
Leaves without feeling

**Chorus
Ab5 F#5   Eb5                F#5            D5             D+ Bb5   F5
On your marks, man, ready, set Let's get loaded and forget
A5                      F5      C5
The little corporal got in the way
    D5     C5          G5        C5
And he got hit by an emotional ricochet
E5          A5            D5           G5
It's a bit more now than dressing up dolly
D5       G5           D5       G5  G#5
Playing house seems so melancholy

**Chorus

**Chorus
Ab5 F#5   Eb5           F#5             D5                D+  Bb5   F5
Oh it's too sad to be true your blue murder's killing you
**Instrumental Interlude
**Chorus
