[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][D][G][D][Bm]
[D][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
You'd be surprised
if you [Bm]looked through the eyes [D]of [A]a nova
[Em]Not recognizing the mole
[Gm]hills on top of the [Bm]star
[D]Cheerful and swollen he [Bm]waves
from [D]his seat in [E]a rover
That is his car
[Gm]

[Verse 2]
You would[D]n't doubt him to shake the most
[Bm]powerful hands of [D]import[A]ance
[Em]Changing the world as [Gm]we know
it by leaving his [Bm]ink.
[D]To judge from the fence 'round [Em]his house
[Bm]he must [D]love all [E]his children
That's what you [Gm]think
But there's [D]no

[Verse 3]
time to think
Have [A]a pill and a shrink
Just don't [Em]show us [Gm]how you s[D]weat
Making love to your [A]kids
Is the last love that [Em]you will
[D]ever [Gm]get[A][D]

[Verse 4]
You're a [A]vanishing image
[Em]of what I [Gm]thought [G]I k[A]new
But it [F#]comes to show
That [Bm]the man [A]I k[E]now -[Gm]
Is kissing that [D]cheek

[Verse 5]
that she had lifted
[Bm]up for her forty f[D]irst birthday
[A]Lov[Em]e is when someone you[Gm] trust
cuts a smile in your [Bm]face
[D]Boy had a dog [A]and [D]poor girl had
[Bm]a stroke [D]like an ear[E]thquake
Now dog is a bird
[Gm]

[Verse 6]
But there's [D]no time to think
Have a pill [A]and a shrink
Just don't [Em]show us [Gm]how you sweat
[D]Making love to your kid[A]s
Is the last love that [Em]you will
[Gm]ever [Asus4]get[A][D]

[Verse 7]
You're a van[A]ishing image of
[Em]what I [Gm]thought [G]I k[A]new
But it comes [F#]to show
That the [Bm]man I[A] k[E]now
Has a [Bm]fad [A]ing [E]glow
In [Bm]a white [A]lampshade

[Interlude 1]
[E][Gm][Gsus4]
[G]

[Verse 8]
[D]Tell me lampshade the truth
did you [G]cover his [Bm]soul?
Did you pro[Bb]tect all the horrible?
[A]I shall tea[D]r you apart so [Bb]that
everyone [D]knows[Bm]
What he's been [C]carrying [D]around

[Verse 9]
Tell me lampshade what [A]is
[D]it you're [A]try[G]ing to [Bm]hide
Under your [F#]stinky [Bb]old cord[D]uroy
[A]I shall rip and be sha[Bb]ttered by
the shrapnell of [F#]light[Bm]
That I've been [C]choking on [A]always

[Verse 10]
[D]There is a dog barking close with
[A]in the [G]range of my [Bm]ear
Sounds like [Bb]he wants to escape [F#]the chain
[A]He would probably bit[F#]e me
[Bb]to death [Bbdim]if he cou[Bm]ld
But [C]the chain lets [D]me spit in [A]his [D]face

[Verse 11]
Like the dog has [A]a chain clinging
[G]close to it's [Bm]neck
This man is [F#]tied to [Bb]his secrecy
[A]I would like to have kil[Bm]led
[Bb]him off [Bm]in this last verse
But [C]instead I re[A]moved his [D]lampshade
