[Intro] Em B Em B C G B7 C C G C G A D B7 [Verse 1]
Em                           A7sus2
And now as I would judge and say you're aloof

    Em/D#                   Em/C#
But you know the truth is a seed

                  A               D        B7
You know what you need is a conflagration

           Em
Cause when I see the blood

        A7sus2
And the bits of your broken tooth

   Em/D#                     Em/C#
It gives me the proof that I need

                        A
It's the proof that you bleed

             D
It's a revelation

                G                  B7
Yeah it's a revelation, it's a revelation

   E                 A          B
I thought you were a life-sized paper doll

E                 A        B
Propped up in the hardware store

E                 A          B
Propped up on the front lawn watching the parade

         E                 A      B
Of those legionnaires with two-by-four's

                           C#m      F#
As they're marching off to war

                             B        G#
Yeah they're marching off to war
[Verse 2]
C#m                         G#
I didn't know what you were made of

C#m                                   G#
The colour of your blood, what you're afraid of

A                          E
Are you made of calcium or are you carbon-based

             G#                    C#m
And if you're made of calcium I'll have to take a taste

               A                 E
Cause, listen, calcium is deadly tender to the tooth

             A
And it's one sure-fire way to know if you're

E                    F# F#7                 B    B7 
MX-missile-proof, oh no, or if you're just aloof

[Verse 3]
C#m                               G#
You were in the ground in late November

C#m                          G#
When the leaves in earth are down

        A                            E
Did you, did you think they would remember

G#                    C#m
How you almost made stage-out

                  A                            E
Cause when you're running for the game against alfonso

        A                                  E
And you fell upon the ground and chipped a tooth

       F#
Oh no, listen, I really have surprised her

   B                            B7
To learn that you are really MX-missile-proof
[Chorus]
      E                             B
Oh, I thought you were a life-sized paper doll

           E                          B
And you're propped up in the hardware store

         E                            B                            E                        B
You were propped up on the front lawn watching the parade of those legionnaires with two-by-four's

                            A    B    E
As they're marching off to war

                              A    B    E
Yeah they're marching off to war

           A    B     E
Oh they're marching
