Chorus*
Bm F#mOh I wish you could see
Bm F#m EmQuite how much you could mean to me
(Em F#m G A D)
GYou worthless thing
(Em Em F#m G)
D GIf you were ten feet taller and almost handsome
Bm F#m EmI might pay this kings ransom
(Em F#m G A D)
G D Dsus2You worthless thing
*verse 2 - same*
They commit blue murder along union avenue
Then they sell you souvenir matches
Nightclubs full of grave robbers from Memphis, Tennessee
And Las Vegas body snatchers
And he's carrying a warning
Can't you see how his eyes glint
Keep you bloody hands off my life
Your affectionate fingerprint
*same as first chorus except no D and Dsus2 on acoustic version*
Oh I wish you could see
Quite how much you could mean to me
You worthless thing
If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome
I might pay this kings ransom
You worthless thing
Bm F#mAll the cars and pills and girls
G F#mWho tore his shirt to tatters
EmDo you know how tall he was
(Em F#m G)
GCause that is all that really matters
Bm F#mDo you know his mother's last name
G F#mDo you think that he's divine
EmYou've seen the film
(Em F#m G)
GYou've read the book
(Em F#m G Em [F#m hold])
You're drinking vintage Elvis Presley wine
*verse 3 - same*
Bored out of your tiny mind while life is twice as large
They'll cut her down to size on television
She's available and beautiful, but with more time to devote
They're going to take this cable now
And stick it down your throat
So this is an obituary
Which should be right and fitting
For every clock work cat and
Conceivable kitten
* same as other chorus 2 with noted exceptions)
Oh I wish you could see
Quite how much you could mean to me
You worthless thing
If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome
I might pay this kings ransom
You worthless thing
Full band fade on (Em F#m G A D)
Acoustic
D GAaahhh You worthless thing
Aaahhh You worthless thing
