G                   E7       G 
do do do do do do do do 
 
G 
I'll make a shoehorn outta your shin 
 
I'll make a lampshade of durable skin 
E7 
And oh, don't you know that I'm always feelin able 
 
When I'm sitting home here carving out your navel 
G 
I'm just sitting here carving out your navel 
 
C           Em                C 
When will I realize that this skin I'm in  
Em 
Hey, it isn't mine 
C                 Em                C              Em   E7 
And when will the thrill be to much meat for me to hide on 
 
G 
Hey, I could use a couple of hands  
 
To complete one hell of a plant stand 
E7 
Oh, and don't you know that I'm caught here in the middle 
 
Makin ribcages into coffee tables oh,oh 
G 
I'm just a makin them into coffee tables 
 
C               Em                C 
And when will I realize that this skin I'm in 
Em 
Hey, it isn't mine 
C                 Em                C              Em    E7 
And when will the thrill be to much meat for me to hide ,anymore 
            C 
Oh, because you know I can't hide  
Am 
and oh how hard I tried 
C                              G 
But this is just the shape I'm in 
C 
And though you know I can't hide  
Am 
And oh how hard I tried 
C                              G 
But this is just the shape I'm in 
 
C    Am   C   G     C   Am    C   G 
do do do do do do do
