---- intro: B A E A (x6)
             B   A E A
I could have read

        B     A E A
A poem called

   B    A  E A
Ozymandias

         B   A  E A
To her instead

               B    A  E A
I live for the moment

         B    A  E A
It was a futile

        B   A   E A
Gesture anyway

      B   A  E A
I was here

            B   A  E A
And she was here

            B   A  E A
And being broad

            B   A  E A
Of mind and hips

            B   A  E A
We did the only

            B   A  E A
Thing possible
E D C#5/E D (x2)
E         D              C#5/E            D
I guess I shouldn't have strangled her to death but

E        D             C#5/E             D
I had to go to work and she had laced my coffee with

E   D  C#5/E D
acid!
E D C#5/E D (x8, keyboard solo enters 3rd time)
E    D      C#5/E         D
Normally, I wouldn't have minded

E         D         C#5/E     D
But I'm allergic to sulphuric acid

E     D  C#5/E     D
Besides, she had acne

E                 D
And if you've got acne

C#5/E     D           E  D           C#5/E   D
Well, I apologise for disliking it intensely

              E              D           C#5/E    D
But it's understandable that ugly people have got complexes

E         D      C#5/E     D           E              D     C#5/E  D
I mean it seems to me that ugly people don't have a chance

 E         D        C#5/E    D

E (N.C.)
  It's only the children or the fucking wealthy who tend be good looking!
B A E A (x2)
        B   A  E  A
An ugly fart

           B      A     E  A
Attracts a good looking

B            A      E    A
Chick if he's got money
