[Verse 1]
Can you feel Dmthis from a disAmtance
What I'm E7doing with my pins?Am  
Pull them Dmfrom between my lipsAm  
And one by E7one, I stick 'em inAm  
Not a Dmcushion, not a Ampillow
But a E7clever manneAmquin
If I Dmcovered it with Amkisses
Would you E7feel them on your Amskin?
[Interlude]
Dm  Am  E7  Am
[Verse 2]
DmI can feel you out Amthere
E7Doing it Amyet again
DmUp to your old tricks, Amdear
E7Reaching out Amthrough thin air
DmUncontrolled twitAmches
E7Sharp pain Amin my back
DmButterfly kisAmses
E7Hot breath on my Amneck
[Interlude]
Dm Am E7 Am
[Verse 3]
Can you Dmfeel this from a Amdistance 
          (I can feel you out there)
What I'm E7doing with my Ampins? 
             (Doing it yet again)
Pull them Dmfrom between my Amlips 
       (Up to your old tricks, dear)
And one by E7one, I stick 'em Amin 
              (Reaching out   through thin air)
Not a Dmcushion, not a Ampillow 
       (Uncontrolled twitches)
But a E7clever manneAmquin 
      (Sharp pain     in my back)
If I Dmcovered it with Amkisses 
          (Butterfly kisses)
Would you E7feel them on your Amskin? 
     (Hot breath on my neck)
[Chorus]
GmIt's not the same as the Dmreal thing
GmMight like this better Dminstead
GmI know you're thinking of Dmme
When I'm Dmthinking that
GmWe are connecteAd
GmWe are connecteAd
[Verse 4]
On the Dmevening of the Amseance
Where we E7met that only Amtime
All the Dmcandles were extinAmguished
When you E7put your hand in Ammine
The Dmtable started Amrocking
And you E7caught my evil Ameye
We Dmpromised when we Amparted
We would E7never say gooAmdbye
[Interlude]
Dm Am E7 Am
[Verse 4]
I Dmknew from your deAmmeanor 
   (Make a little totem)
That you E7were a kindred Amsoul 
            (Fetish doll     effigy)
Your Dmsmile was so faAmmiliar 
     (Put in it a token)
And I E7couldn't let you Amgo 
     (Something that      comes from me)
It's a sDmympathetic Ammagic 
      (Sympathetic magic)
Pulls E7us together Amclose 
     (Are we doomed?    Are we cursed?)
It's a Dmsympathetic Ammagic 
      (Sympathetic magic)
It's the E7thing I love Amthe most 
(It could always be worse)
[Interlude]
Dm Am E7 Am
[Chorus]
GmIt's not the same as the Dmreal thing
GmMight like this better Dminstead
GmI know you're thinking of Dmme
When I'm Dmthinking that
GmWe are conAnected
GmIt's not the same as the Dmreal thing
GmMight like this better inDmstead
GmI know you're thinking of Dmme
When I'm Dmthinking that
GmWe are connectedA  
GmWe are connectedA  
[Verse 5]
You Dmnever would beAmlieve it 
(Don't want to be your plaything)
But a E7toy can take a Amtoll 
      (Not, at least, anymore)
I Dmsewed it with a Amneedle 
    (Puppet on a kite string)
And a E7piece of your Amsoul 
      (That you toss     to the floor)
Not just Dmany simulAmacrum 
         (Careful what you wish for)
But a E7sweet remote conAmtrol 
     (It comes back        sevenfold)
I could sDmhoot you with a Ampistol 
        (Might fall into a well, dear)
And they'd E7never find Amthe hole
[Chorus]
GmIt's not the same as the Dmreal thing
GmMight like this better Dminstead
GmI know you're thinking of Dmme
When I'm Dmthinking that
GmWe are connectedA  
GmWe are connectedA  
GmWe are connectAed

Dm Am E7 Am

[Verse 1]

Dm Am

Can you feel this from a distance

E7 Am

What I'm doing with my pins?

Dm Am

Pull them from between my lips

E7 Am

And one by one, I stick 'em in

Dm Am

Not a cushion, not a pillow

E7 Am

But a clever mannequin

Dm Am

If I covered it with kisses

E7 Am

Would you feel them on your skin?

[Interlude]

Dm Am E7 Am

[Verse 2]

Dm Am

I can feel you out there

E7 Am

Doing it yet again

Up to your old tricks, dear

Uncontrolled twitches

E7 Am

Sharp pain in my back

Dm Am

Butterfly kisses

E7 Am

Hot breath on my neck

[Interlude]

Dm Am E7 Am

[Verse 3]

Dm Am

Can you feel this from a distance

(I can feel you out there)

(Up to your old tricks, dear)

E7 Am

And one by one, I stick 'em in

(Reaching out through thin air)

Dm Am

Not a cushion, not a pillow

(Uncontrolled twitches)

E7 Am

But a clever mannequin

(Sharp pain in my back)

Dm Am

If I covered it with kisses

(Butterfly kisses)

Would you feel them on your skin?

[Verse 4]

Dm Am

On the evening of the seance

E7 Am

Where we met that only time

Dm Am

All the candles were extinguished

E7 Am

When you put your hand in mine

Dm Am

The table started rocking

E7 Am

And you caught my evil eye

Dm Am

We promised when we parted

E7 Am

We would never say goodbye

[Interlude]

Dm Am E7 Am

[Verse 4]

Dm Am

I knew from your demeanor

(Make a little totem)

E7 Am

That you were a kindred soul

(Fetish doll effigy)

Dm Am

Your smile was so familiar

(Put in it a token)

E7 Am

And I couldn't let you go

(Something that comes from me)

Dm Am

It's a sympathetic magic

(Sympathetic magic)

E7 Am

Pulls us together close

It's the thing I love the most

[Verse 5]

Dm Am

You never would believe it

(Don't want to be your plaything)

E7 Am

But a toy can take a toll

(Not, at least, anymore)

Dm Am

I sewed it with a needle

(Puppet on a kite string)

E7 Am

And a piece of your soul

(That you toss to the floor)

Dm Am

Not just any simulacrum

(Careful what you wish for)

E7 Am

But a sweet remote control

(It comes back sevenfold)

Dm Am

I could shoot you with a pistol

(Might fall into a well, dear)

E7 Am

And they'd never find the hole

[Chorus]

Gm Dm

It's not the same as the real thing

Gm Dm

Might like this better instead

I know you're thinking of me

When I'm thinking that
