        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

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

              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

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
