Em            Bm       C             D
I don't know you from Adam , it could make my day

If you leave me a message I'll give it away

'Cause the most perfect strangers that you can talk to

Are the ones who pretend that you're not really you
         Em     D             C           Em
Are with any attempts here to play Frankenstein
          Em        D           F             C  G/B Am
Come with plenty of chances for changing your mind
            Em            D      C    A
When you're building your own creation
             Em       D           C
Nothing's better than real than a real
G  D/F#  Em C   G  D/F# Em C

        Em          Bm        C         D
I won't find it fantastic or think it absurd

When the gun in the first act goes off in the third

'Cause it's rare that you ever know what to expect

From a guy made of corpses with bolts in his neck
       Em           D          C            Em
If the creature is limping the parts are in place
       Em          D         F          C  G/B Am
With a mind of its own and a fist for a face
    Em            D      C    A
Say hello to your new creation
         Em          D           C
Now it's better than real it's a real 
G  D/F#  Em C   G  D/F# Em C

You may wonder what the catch is
                      F7     D7
As we batten down the hatches


         Em       Bm            C          D
And when later we find that the thing we devised

Has the villagers clamouring for it's demise

We will have to admit the futility of

Trying to make something more of this jerry-built love
           Em        D         C         Em
And you'll notice it bears a resemblance to 
     Em       D         F           C  G/B Am
Everything I imagined I wanted from you
       Em            D      C    A
But at least it's my own creation
         Em          D           C
And it's better than real it's a real 
G  D/F#  Em C   G  D/F# Em C
