==================================================================== [Verse 1]
Am             Em/G               Fmaj7    C/G
How  does  it  feel  now  you've  been  undressed

       Dm            C                 G7      C
By  a  man  with  a  mind  like  the  gut-ter  press

E7/G#      Am           D/F#     Em/G    D/F#
So  dis-a-ppointed  to  find it's no big sin

Em/G   D/F#   Em/G
Lying skin to skin
===================================================================== [Chorus 1]
Am      Dm            Am
       Shot with his own gun

Now dad is keeping mum

Shot with his own gun
====================================================================== [Post-Chorus 1]

Now some-body has to pay for the one who got away
======================================================================= [Verse 2]
Am             Em/G        Fmaj7    C/G
What's on his mind now is anyone's guess

Dm           C              G7      C
Losing his touch with each caress

E7/G#          Am             D/F#    Em/G
Spending every evening looking so appealing

   D/F#   Em/G
He comes without warning

 D/F#           Em/G
Leaves without feeling
======================================================================= [Chorus 2]

======================================================================= [Verse 3]

The little corporal got in the way

Dm      C         G7           C
He got hit by an emotional ricochet

E7/G#       Am             D/F#      Em/G
It's a bit more now than dressing up dolly

D/F#    Em/G       D/F#     Em/G
Playing house seems so melancholy
======================================================================= [Chorus 3]
Am      Dm            Am
       Shot with his own gun

Am  Dm     Am          G5/D
Now dad is keeping mum

Dm        Am       C     Bdim   Bm7b5
Shot with his own gun
====================================================================== [Post-Chorus 3]
Ab   F#  Ebm    F#                     D/A             Bb   F
Oh it's too sad to be true  Your blue murder's killing you
