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

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

Are you pleased to see me suffer ever?

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

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