C                      F 
If you come to find me affable 
        C           G 
Build a replica for me 
          C              F 
Would the idea to you be laughable 
     C           G 
Of a pale facsimile? 
            C               F 
So will you come to burn an effigy? 
          C               G 
It should keep the flies away 
             C                 F 
And when you long to burn this effigy 
                    C               G           Am    D    Dm    G 
It should be of the hours that slip away, slip away 
F           Am               G 
It could be you, it could be me 
            F                      
Working the door, drinking for free 
         Am                    G 
Carrying on with your conspiracies 
            F                       
Filling the room with a sense of unease 
           G                       C    Am    
Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone 
F                   G                                 C      Am 
Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time alone 
F                           G 
When one has spent too much time alone 

C                            F 
So will you come to burn my effigy? 
C                          G 
It should keep the flies away 
C                       F 
If you long to burn an effigy 
F                 C                       G          Am    D    Dm    G 
It should be of a man whose has lost his way, slips away 

F           Am               G 
It could be you, it could be me 
            F                     
Working the door, drinking for free 
         Am                    G 
Carrying on with your conspiracies 
             Am                   F 
Filling the room with a sense of unease 
            G                      C      Am 
Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone 
          F          G                                 C      Am 
Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time alone 
      F                      G   
When one has spent too much time alone
