It took a long time for me to get over
C               G
Your incredible ways
            Bm                    F
And now I'm minded to wipe out the memory
C              Bm
Of the way you behave
         A#                                      Dm
You're a receptacle (It took a long time for me to discover)
        G                             Am
For the respectable (It took some time to get over)
G          Bm                    F
I took some time out to study your actions
C                        G
Of how you painted towns red
          Bm                 F
And if my worst fears came to fruition
C                           Bm
I'm sure you'd leave us all dead
         A#                                 Dm
I was so gullible (It took a long time for me to discover)
            G                         Am
But now I'm cynical (It took some time to get over)

We're all susceptible (It took a long time for me to discover)
       G                            Am
To the incredible (It took some time to get over)

Tell me, tell me, tell me again
            C
'Cause it's very inane
        F                 F#
Are you pleased to see me suffer ever?

Tell me, tell me, explain your game

Are you pleased to see me suffer ever?
 
[Section C]
 
G           D                 F             C
Welcome as a storm cloud in the late December gloom
G          D               F
Subtle as a nail bomb in the head
            C     Bm       Am     Em    Am   D
You came to me in peace and left me in pieces
