Intro:  A5  E5 D5  E5 A5   E5 D5  (repeat) 
 
A5                  D5       E5 
I've been contemplating suicide, 
A5                  D5             E5       
but it really doesn't suit my style, 
A5                   D5             E5 
so I think I'll just act bored instead 
A5                         D5       E5 
who can take the blood I would've shed? 
 
She makes me feel so ugly   

my heart is really on it's knees 

but I keep a poker face so well 

that even mother couldn't tell 
 
Chorus: 
       A5                     D5 
But my baby's so vain she is almost a mirror 
        A5                        D5 
and the sound of her name sends a permanent shiver down my 
A5     D5           A5     D5 
Spiiiine, down my Spiiiine 
 
I keep her photograph against my heart 
for in my life she plays a starring part 
all alcohol and cigarettes 
there is no room for cheap regrets 
 
Chorus 
 
She makes me feel so ugly 
my heart is really on it's knees 
but I keep a poker face so well 
that even mother couldn't tell 
 
Chorus and fade
