The Scary Jokes


Tom: Em

D F#m D F#m Bm G Bm G

D     F#m     Bm    G

[Verse 1]

D
Stealing a part of Pygmalion's heart
F#m                                Bm
Isn't so hard if you play your part
                     G
And you're not afraid to disengage

[Verse 2]

    D
You stab at your prize, chiseling fear in her eyes
    F#m
You know it sounds bad, but you love seeing her sad
  Bm
You love someone you can shape
G
Who has no will to escape

[Pre-chorus]

 Cmaj7
Oh, but you know she's not selfish
Em
Like everyone else is
                     F#m7
She won't leave you lonely
                      B7
She's gonna make you whole
               Em                       A7
But how do you know she won't seize control?
                     D7
She ain't worth a goddamn
                  B
In anyone else's hands

C           Dm G C

[Chorus]

C
You've got real potential
C
But you lack the essentials
              Dm     G         C
You're just a monster with a BF 
             F         G    C    Am
She wants to claw your eyes open
           F   G            D
So you can see, she's not a plaything

D     F#m     Bm    G

[Verse 3]

    D
You covet her warmth, like a wolf at a corpse
        F#m                                        Bm
So it's fair to assume, your intent's to consume her
                     G
And she lets you feed cause her love's in need

[Pre-chorus]

Cmaj7                   Em
And you don't even panic when her flesh turns to granite
                    F#m7                 B7
'Cause girls of her kind are so easy to find
                              Em
You think that you're such a star. Ha!
                  A7
What a fraud you are
                      D7                B
The only gift you possess is your viciousness

C           Dm G C

[Chorus]

C
You've got real potential
C
But you lack the essentials
              Dm     G         C
You're just a monster with a BF 
             F         G    C    Am
She wants to claw your eyes open
           F   G            D
So you can see, she's not a plaything
