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

[Verse 1]
A cripple walks amongst [D]you
All you [Gm]tired [Bm]human [G]beings
[D]He's got all the things a cripple has not
Two [Gm]work[Bm]ing arms and l[G]egs[D]
And vital parts fall from his system

[Verse 2]
[Bm]And dissolve
in Scottish [G]rain[D]
But vitally, he doesn't miss them
He's [Gm]too fucked [Bm]up to ca[G]re
[D]Well is that you

[Verse 3]
in front of me?
[G]Coming back for even mor[A]e
of exactly the [Bm]same
You must [D]be a masochist
[G]To love a modern [A]leper on his last [Bm]leg,
on his [G]last [D]leg
[Bm][G][D][Bm][G]

[Verse 4]
[D]
Well I crippled your
heart a hundred times
And still can't work [Bm]out w[G]hy[D]
You see, I've got this disease
I can't shake and I'm just rat
[Bm]tling [G]through [D]life

[Verse 5]
Well this is how we do things now
Yeah this [G]is how [Bm]the modern
[D]stay [G]scared[D]
So I cut out all the good stuff
Yeah I cut off my [Bm]foot to spite [G]my [D]leg[G]
[D]Is

[Verse 6]
that you in front [G]of me?
Coming back for even [A]more
of exactly the [Bm]same
You must [D]be a masochist
[G]To love a modern [A]leper on his last [Bm]leg
[G]Well I am [D]ill but I'm

[Verse 7]
not dead
[G]And I don't know which of
[A]those I [Bm]prefer
Because that [D]limb which I have [G]lost
Well it was the only [A]thing holding me [Bm]up,
[G]holding me [D]up[A][Bm][G]
[D][A][Bm]

[Verse 8]
[G]
Well I'm ly[D]ing on the ground now
And [A]you're walking
through the [Bm]only [G]door
Well I [D]have lost my eyesight
like [A]I said I would
But I [Bm]still [G]know
[D]That that is you in front

[Verse 9]
[G]of me
And you are back for even [A]more
of exactly the [Bm]same
[G]Well are [D]you [G]a masochist?
You love a modern [A]leper on his last [Bm]leg
And [G]you're

[Verse 10]
not [D]ill and I'm not dead
[G]Doesn't that make us [A]the
perfect [Bm]pair?
You should [G]sit with me [D]and we'll start again
[G]And you can tell me all abo[A]ut
what you did [Bm]today
[G]What you did [D]today
