[Verse]
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 when you come to burn an effigy
C G
It should keep the flies away
C F
And when you learn to burn this effigy
C G Am D Dm G G#(note)
It should be for the hours that slip away, slip away
[Chorus]
F C G
It could be you, it could be me
Dm F
Working the door, drinking for free
Am E
Carrying on with your conspiracies
F F
Filling the room with a sense of unease
G C A
Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone
F G C A
Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time alone
Dm G
When one has spent too much time alone
[Interlude]
C F G C F C G
[Verse]
C F
So when you come to burn an effigy
C G
It should keep the flies away
C F
If you long to burn an effigy
C G Am D Dm G G#(note)
It should be of a man whose has lost his way, slips away
[Chorus]
F C G
It could be you, it could be me
Dm F
Working the door, drinking for free
Am E
Carrying on with your conspiracies
F F
Filling the room with a sense of unease
G C A
Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone
F G C A
Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time all alone
Dm G
When one has spent too much time alone
