[VERSE 1]
B G Ugly, I'm so very ugly D E B I'm ugly, inside and out, there's no denyin' B G Love me, why would you ever love me? D E B No one has ever loved me yet, pretty baby B G Skeleton key, it won't open up D E B It won't open any lock I have on me B G Rusted, bent and rusted D E B Your precious skeleton key
[VERSE 2]
B G I spent my life, tryin' every way to die D E B Is it my fate to be the last one standin'? B G Don't you know it's a crime? All the shadowy peaks I climb D E B And I have yet to ever be remanded D E B Yes, I have yet to ever be remanded B G Holy, holy D E B All of your religions are a lie B G Hold me, don't ya try to hold me D E B I clearly see my own way to the other side D E B Yes, I will make my own way to the other side
[VERSE 3]
B G Cryin', quit your cryin' D E B Sun'll likely rise again tomorrow B G As you follow me down, through the underground D E B I would hook a leash upon your collar B G Nothin' good is sustained, I gladly accept the blame D E B But all my words won't add up to a dollar D E B Yes, all my words won't add up to a dollar
[VERSE 4]
B G Love me, don't say that you love me D E B Nobody has ever loved me yet, pretty baby B G Cryin', quit your cryin' D E B I have ten thousand tears that you can borrow B G Come on, follow me down through the underground D E B And I will sing to you a song of sorrow D E B I will sing to you a sweet, straight song of sorrow D E B I will sing you all a sweet, straight song of sorrow D E B I will sing you all a sweet, straight song of sorrow D E B Skeleton key, where are ya? Hey-yeah
[VERSE 5]
B G Skeleton key, bent and rusted D E B All of your dreams are locked away B G The hands have stopped, on the timekeeper's clock D E B You have got to learn to breathe underwater D E B Yeah, you have got to breathe, breathe underwater B G Skeleton key, bent and rusted D E B As broken as the heart the dirt has eaten B G Love me, don't pretend to love me D E B I've lost enough to know when I am beaten D E B I've lost enough to know when I've been beaten D E B I've lost enough to know when I've been beaten D E B Yes, I have lost enough to know when I've been beaten
