fantastic, [G] he burned like [E] a match [A] You know I'm sorry for what [B] I've done
It wasn't me who [A] wrote the kitchen [B] I only read the [A] homing pigeon
I [B] know the taxi's in [A] the early hours [B] And sent Aretha [A] with the flowers

[G] It was [E] all electric [G] when [E] cats were accepted [A] And then apologized [B] again
It wasn't only me [A] who blew their brains [B] I slyly admit [A] to putting [B] chains
Around their necks [A] so they couldn't move [B] But there were others being [A] quite cruel
