[Intro 1]
[Am][F][Am][G][Am][G]
[Am][F][Am][G]
[Am][C][G]

[Verse 1]
Your face is [G]like
the mo[F]ment when the sexist
hero [Am]traps
The slippy vil[G]lain with
[Am]the [G]weasel f[Em]ace[C]
[G]you don't have to speak
[F]Your expression is the truth
that your words don't [Am]say
And the truth won't go [G]away[C][Gm]
in many dark [Am]corners [F]I have
[Dm]thought myself about this[C]
[G]Did you do it out of [F]malice
did [Dm]you fall or [Am]were you

[Interlude 1]
kissed.
[Am][G][Am][C][G]

[Verse 2]
Could you ask your [G]friend
[F]in the cowboy jacket
and those boots up to his [G]knee[Am]
[G]Would he shut his mouth for me[C]
[G]I've heard just enough
[F]All I want to hear about
pipes and drum[G]s[Am]
and how little time [G]it takes
[Em]the clutz to c[C]ome
[Gm]The golden gift of silence[F]
is I [Dm]don't have to hear you [C]speak
So would [G]you [Gm]take him out yourself
[F]befor[Am]e I put[Dm] you bot[Am]h back in the [C]stre[Am]et

[Interlude 2]
[F]
[Am][G][Am][G][Am][F]
[Am][G][Am][F][C][Am]

[Verse 3]
[G]Now the story shifts
and we [F]see a young man
Standing in the wing[G]s[Am][G]
too old before his [C]time[G][C][G]
Collecting grey hairs
he's [F]proud and he's scared
and he says "I don't [G]care"[Am]
[G]How can he be so bli[C]nd[Em]
[Gm]so how did you c[F]orrupt him
You must [Dm]have got
him where it [Am]counts
[C]now[Am] he's[Gm] so numb he's
[F]ready to [Dm]freeze
And you're ready for [C]the monkey
[Am]house

[Interlude 3]
[G][Am][G]

[Verse 4]
[G]Ready for [Am]the monkey h[G]ouse
[Am]the monkey house but you
won't [G]take [Am]me
