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
