(capo up 2 frets)
(I still have the shake in my voice
And I'm going to sing you this song)
Em Bm C D
I don't know you from Adam, it could make my day
If you leave me a message I'll give it away
'Cause the most perfect strangers that you can talk to
Are the ones who pretend that you're not really you
Em D C EmAre with any attempts here to play Frankenstein
Come with plenty of chances for changing your mind
Em D C AWhen you're building your own creation
Em D CNothing's better than real than a real
Imitation
I won't find it fantastic or think it absurd
When the gun in the first act goes off in the third
'Cause it's rare that you ever know what to expect
From a guy made of corpses with bolts in his neck
Em D C EmIf the creature is limping the parts are in place
Em D F C G/B AmWith a mind of its own and a fist for a face
Say hello to your new creation
Em D CNow it's better than real it's a real
G D/F# Em C G D/F# Em CImitation
Bb A7
You may wonder what the catch is
As we batten down the hatches
And when later we find that the thing we devised
Has the villagers clamouring for it's demise
We will have to admit the futility of
Trying to make something more of this jerry-built love
Em D C EmAnd you'll notice it bears a resemblance to
Em D F C G/B AmEverything I imagined I wanted from you
But at least it's my own creation
Em D CAnd it's better than real it's a real
G D/F# Em C G D/F# Em CImitation
G D/F# Em C G D/F#
