C F If you come to find me affable C G Build a replica for me C F Would the idea to you be laughable C G Of a pale facsimile? C F So will you come to burn an effigy? C G It should keep the flies away C F And when you long to burn this effigy C G Am D Dm G It should be of the hours that slip away, slip away F Am G It could be you, it could be me F Working the door, drinking for free Am G Carrying on with your conspiracies F Filling the room with a sense of unease G C Am Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone F G C Am Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time alone F G When one has spent too much time alone C F So will you come to burn my effigy? C G It should keep the flies away C F If you long to burn an effigy F C G Am D Dm G It should be of a man whose has lost his way, slips away F Am G It could be you, it could be me F Working the door, drinking for free Am G Carrying on with your conspiracies Am F Filling the room with a sense of unease G C Am Fake conversations on a nonexistent telephone F G C Am Like the words of a man who's spent a little too much time alone F G When one has spent too much time alone
