(capo up 2 frets)
(I still have the shake in my voice
And I'm going to sing you this song)
EmBmCD
I don't know you from Adam, it could make my day
If you leave me a message I'll give it away
'Cause the most perfect strangers that you can talk to
Are the ones who pretend that you're not really you
EmDCEm
Are with any attempts here to play Frankenstein
EmDFCGAm
Come with plenty of chances for changing your mind
EmDCA
When you're building your own creation
EmDC
Nothing's better than real than a real
GD/F#CmF#

EmBmCD
I won't find it fantastic or think it absurd
When the gun in the first act goes off in the third
'Cause it's rare that you ever know what to expect
From a guy made of corpses with bolts in his neck
EmDCEm
If the creature is limping the parts are in place
EmDFCGAm
With a mind of its own and a fist for a face
EmDCA
Say hello to your new creation
EmDC
Now it's better than real it's a real

You may wonder what the catch is
F7D7
As we batten down the hatches
EmBmCD
And when later we find that the thing we devised
Has the villagers clamouring for it's demise
We will have to admit the futility of
Trying to make something more of this jerry-built love
EmDCEm
And you'll notice it bears a resemblance to
EmDFCAmB
Everything I imagined I wanted from you
EmDCA
But at least it's my own creation
EmDC
And it's better than real it's a real
