D G
If you come to find me affable
D A
Build a replica for me
D G
Would the idea to you be laughable
D A
Of a pale facsimile
D G
So when you come to burn an effigy
D A
It should keep the flies away
D G
And when you learn to burn this effigy
D A Bm E Em A (F#)
It should be for the hours that slip away, slip away
G D A
It could be you, it could be me
Em G
Working the door, drinking for free
Bm F#
Carrying on with your conspiracies
G G
Filling the room with a sense of unease
A D B
Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone
G A D B
Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time alone
Em A
When one has spent too much time alone
Interlude: D G D A x2

So when you come to burn an effigy

If you long to burn an effigy
D A Bm E Em A (F#)
It should be of a man whose has lost his way, slips away
G D A
It could be you, it could be me
Em G
Working the door, drinking for free
Bm F#
Carrying on with your conspiracies
G G
Filling the room with a sense of unease

Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone

Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time all alone

When one has spent too much time alone
