[Intro]
B7
Em C
Sounds like a cabaret to you
G B7
That’s what you said
Em C G B7
I could live a thousand years and still not know just what you meant
[Chorus]
Em C
Sounds like a cabaret to you
G B7
What can I say
Em C G
When I know that you would feel that way about anything I play
B7 Em
I’ll bet my songs all sound the same to you
C G
I’ll bet they fuckin’ do
D7 Em Am G
I bet they sound the same because you’ve only heard like two
Em C
I’ll bet my shit all sounds the same to you
D7 G
I’ll bet it fuckin’ does
Em Am D7 Em
Given the circumstances that does not amount to much
[Verse 1]
Em C D7 G
How could you do it, on my turf, in my own home, to my own kids
C D7 G E
About what’s so absolutely mine
C D7 G Em
And if you play me one of hers and it’s better than my own
C D7 G
I’ll have to eat a gun and fuck off to the sky
C D7 G D7 G
And if it’s worse than most of mine that still sucks ass too
Am D7 G
And I’m still fucked even if it’s just the same
C D7 G Em Am
You’d have a better chance of getting into heaven if instead you fucked me drunk and
D7 G
screamed her name
[Chorus]
B7
Em C
Sounds like a cabaret to you
G B7
I feel so small
Em C G
And I’m sure you didn’t mean anything by it at all
Em C D7
’Cause everything is just okay to you
G
It’s in the past
Em Am D7 Em
I’ll bet you don’t remember that you even fucking asked
[Verse 2]
Em* C*
But how dare you make the offer
G* B7*
And I should’ve kicked your ass
Em C G
Given you a look that turned your slimy bones to ash
Am D7 G
If it hadn’t been so shocking, if it hadn’t hurt so bad
Em Am D7 Em
Perhaps I could’ve moved my shaking hands to hit you back
G Em Am B7
(Shift capo to 1st fret)
[Bridge]
C
So first of all that I would still play for you
Em
Anything at all
B7 Em
And it’s just a fucking cabaret to you
G
Suddenly I’m half as tall
[Verse 3]
B7 Em
Goddamnit you could call my house in bed with her
Am
Just to say that she was better,
D7 Em G B7
And I’d still be half as mad about the whole affair
Em
Tell me which of your ten fingers
Am
Have been how far in her mouth
D7 G
That you prefer the way she pulls your fuckin’ hair
B7 C G
Goddamit all the branches all the fuckin’ implications,
C B7
Code and circuitry, inherent in your words
C D7 G
The nerve of it, the gall, I should just put you underground
Am D7 Em
And leave your unattended insults, all your shit code for the worms
(Shift capo to 3rd fret)
[Outro Chorus]
B7 C G
It sounds like a cabaret to you, what can I do?
Em B7
The sound of cities burning is a cabaret to you
C D7 G
I’ll bet it sounds the same to you — all of my shit
Em Am D7 G
A nastier offense than if you’d gone after my, near-perfect tits
C
So don’t sing for me
D7 G Em Am
I can’t believe you took away one more song, don’t play it for me
D7 G Em Am
You’re a monster and you’ll never live this down, don’t play it for me
D7 B7 Em Am
A cum shot to the face of God, don’t play it for me
D7 G*
You tell her I say she sounds great, but don’t play it for me
Em Am D7 G
