    I'm With Stupid

E5            B5       C5             D5
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
         E5     D5             C5           E5
Are with any attempts here to play Frankenstein
          E5        D5           F5             C5  G5 A5
Come with plenty of chances for changing your mind
            E5            D5      C5    A5
When you're building your own creation
             E5       D5           C5
Nothing's better than real than a real
G5  D5  E5 C5   G5  D5 E5 C5
Imitation


        E5          B5        C5         D5
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
       E5           D5          C5            E5
If the creature is limping the parts are in place
       E5          D5         F5          C5  G5 A5
With a mind of its own and a fist for a face
    E5            D5      C5    A5
Say hello to your new creation
         E5          D5           C5
Now it's better than real it's a real 
G5  D5  E5 C5   G5  D5 E5 C5
Imitation


Bb5                      A5
You may wonder what the catch is
                      F5     D5
As we batten down the hatches


         E5       B5            C5          D5
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
           E5        D5         C5         E5
And you'll notice it bears a resemblance to 
     E5       D5         F5           C5  G5 A5
Everything I imagined I wanted from you
       E5            D5      C5    A5
But at least it's my own creation
         E5          D5           C5
And it's better than real it's a real 
G5  D5  E5 C5   G5  D5 E5 C5
Imitation
