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

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

Tell me, tell me, explain your game

[Section C]
 
C           G                 A#             F
Welcome as a storm cloud in the late December gloom
C          G               A#
Subtle as a nail bomb in the head

You came to me in peace and left me in pieces
