[VERSE]
The string to his Bmhead, the boss makes it F#mnod
The string to his Bmmouth, his mum pulls for F#mfood
The string to his Bmsoul, it leads up to F#mgod
But who conBmtrols the string to his F#mcock?
[HALF CHORUS]
In the bleak midBmwinter at the bottom of the F#mstair
I'll set myself on Bmfire pour petrol in my F#mhair
If he would ever Bmnotice if he would even F#mcare
            Bm       N.C.
I'm just so bored...
[VERSE]
Football on BmSunday drinks after F#mwork
Tuesday a BmDJ Friday a F#mjerk
And what really Bmmatters and who really F#mcares
My lover's a Bmpuppet Pierrot LuF#mnaire
[CHORUS]
In the bleak midBmwinter at the bottom of the F#mstair
I'll set myself on Bmfire pour petrol in my F#mhair
If he would ever Bmnotice if he could even F#mcare
I'm so BmboreC#7d with Pierrot LuF#mnaireF#m  F#m  F#m  
[VERSE]
Others have Bmboyfriends, boyfriends who F#mcare
All flesh and Bmblood, not string and F#mair
They lay them on Bmbeds, they whisper je F#mt'aime
They take off their Bmclothes and make love to F#mthem
One day I'll cut my Bmarms off and send them to F#mhim
I'll sever my Bmlegs, suspend them from F#mstrings
I'll be PulciBmnella, we'll hang out so F#mclose
My wooden Bmcheek to his wooden F#mnose
[CHORUS]
In the bleak midBmwinter at the bottom of the F#mstair
I'll set myself on Bmfire pour petrol in my F#mhair
As if he'd even Bmnotice as if he'd ever F#mcare
I'm so in Bmlove C#7with Pierrot LuF#mnaire.F#m  F#m  F#m  
[VERSE]
Lysergic LyBmsander nodding his F#mhead
A glittering Bmpanda that needs to be F#mfed
A Cantonese Bmopera performed at the F#mzoo
These foolish Bmthings remind me of F#myou
[CHORUS]
And the puppet girls Bmkiss you, but they're on the F#mmove
They must know I Bmmiss you, please come back F#msoon
In the depths of midBmwinter, at the bottom of the F#mstair
I'm on BmfireC#7, Pierrot LuF#mnaire.
[BRIDGE]
Bm F#m B F#m Bm F#m Bm F#m
