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

F                G
Tell me, tell me, tell me again
            A#
'Cause it's very inane
        D#                 E
Are you pleased to see me suffer ever?
 
F                G
Tell me, tell me, explain your game
            A#
'cause it's very inane

Are you pleased to see me suffer ever?

Tell me, tell me, explain your game
            A#
'cause it's very inane
        D#                 E
Are you pleased to see me suffer ever?
 
[Section C]
 
F           C                 D#             A#
Welcome as a storm cloud in the late December gloom
F          C               D#
Subtle as a nail bomb in the head
            A#     Am       Gm     Dm    Gm   C
You came to me in peace and left me in pieces
