just repeat this line, pretty easy
at the beginning of each verse strum open A

A
Did it all for you to say,
You never wanted me this way.
A
Now the dogs have had their meat,
I think I'll go plug in the mains.

Bm                  E(VII)
Tumble like a clown,
A                       F#m(IX)
Before you burn in hell.
Bm               E(VII)
Suffocate myself,
             C     D
In your hair.

A
When you spare a make-up smile,
I'm instantly your biggest fan.
A
How was I to know that,
You practiced it beforehand?

Bm                  E(VII)
Tumble like a clown,
A                       F#m(IX)
Before you burn in hell.
Bm               E(VII)
Suffocate myself,
             C  D  C  D
In your hair.


The bass line continues as he kinda laughs for the rest of the song.

If anyone has anything to add, such as the little guitar riffs,
or if that F#m is right, or an entirely better way, send them to
