[Intro] B7
                  Em        C
Sounds like a cabaret to you

             G     B7
That's what you said

                       Em                  C                  G    B7
I could live a thousand years and still not know just what you meant
[Chorus]
                  Em        C
Sounds like a cabaret to you

           G  B7
What can I say

                            Em                 C          G
When I know that you would feel that way about anything I play

            B7                  Em
I'll bet my songs all sound the same to you

     C               G
I'll bet they fuckin' do

  D7                 Em                  Am              G
I bet they sound the same because you've only heard like two

            Em                  C
I'll bet my shit all sounds the same to you

     D7             G
I'll bet it fuckin' does

Em              Am                D7            Em
Given the circumstances that does not amount to much
[Verse 1]
              Em           C               D7               G
How could you do it, on my turf, in my own home, to my own kids

             C      D7     G    E
About what's so absolutely mine

           C              D7            G              Em
And if you play me one of hers and it's better than my own

             C             D7              G
I'll have to eat a gun and fuck off to the sky

            C                  D7              G     D7  G
And if it's worse than most of mine that still sucks ass too

              Am             D7            G
And I'm still fucked even if it's just the same

             C                D7           G           Em                  Am        D7           G
You'd have a better chance of getting into heaven if instead you fucked me drunk and screamed her name
[Chorus] B7
                  Em        C
Sounds like a cabaret to you

         G     B7
I feel so small

                        Em      C              G
And I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it at all

             Em            C         D7
'Cause everything is just okay to you

            G
It's in the past

Em                 Am                D7           Em
I'll bet you don't remember that you even fucking asked
[Verse 2]
        Em*               C*
But how dare you make the offer

      G*                    B7*
And I should've kicked your ass

            Em                    C             G
Given you a look that turned your slimy bones to ash

                     Am              D7          G
If it hadn't been so shocking, if it hadn't hurt so bad

Em                 Am               D7               Em
Perhaps I could've moved my shaking hands to hit you back
G Em Am B7 (Shift capo to 1st fret) [Bridge]
                                   C
So first of all that I would still play for you

            Em
Anything at all

                B7          Em
And it's just a fucking cabaret to you

                     G
Suddenly I'm half as tall
[Verse 3]
   B7               Em
Goddamnit you could call my house in bed with her

        Am
Just to say that she was better,

        D7               Em            G       B7
And I'd still be half as mad about the whole affair

        Em
Tell me which of your ten fingers

          Am
Have been how far in her mouth

            D7                                 G
That you prefer the way she pulls your fuckin' hair

   B7            C                             G
Goddamit all the branches all the fuckin' implications,

                      C              B7
Code and circuitry, inherent in your words

                    C                    D7           G
The nerve of it, the gall, I should just put you underground

                          Am                D7                Em
And leave your unattended insults, all your shit code for the worms
(Shift capo to 3rd fret) [Outro Chorus]
          B7         C                      G
It sounds like a cabaret to you, what can I do?

                    Em                      B7
The sound of cities burning is a cabaret to you

                       C           D7          G
I'll bet it sounds the same to you — all of my shit

  Em      Am                    D7            G
A nastier offense than if you'd gone after my, near-perfect tits

                    C
So don't sing for me

          D7             G             Em                        Am
I can't believe you took away one more song, don't play it for me

         D7                 G               Em                        Am
You're a monster and you'll never live this down, don't play it for me

      D7                  B7             Em        Am
A cum shot to the face of God, don't play it for me

             D7               G*
You tell her I say she sounds great, but don't play it for me
Em Am D7 G
