A        C#m                     G
It took a long time for me to get over
D               A
Your incredible ways
            C#m                    G
And now I'm minded to wipe out the memory
D              C#m
Of the way you behave
         C                                      Em
You're a receptacle (It took a long time for me to discover)
        A                             Bm
For the respectable (It took some time to get over)
A          C#m                    G
I took some time out to study your actions
D                        A
Of how you painted towns red
          C#m                 G
And if my worst fears came to fruition
D                           C#m
I'm sure you'd leave us all dead
         C                                 Em
I was so gullible (It took a long time for me to discover)
            A                         Bm
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)
       A                            Bm
To the incredible (It took some time to get over)
 
[Section B]
 
A                B
Tell me, tell me, tell me again
            D
'Cause it's very inane
        G                 G#
Are you pleased to see me suffer ever?
 
A                B
Tell me, tell me, explain your game
            D
'cause it's very inane

Are you pleased to see me suffer ever?

Tell me, tell me, explain your game
            D
'cause it's very inane

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