Since the first version isn't complete I figured I'd make one.

Intro:     4x
A       Bm         G             D
Ottoman couch, how handsome your furniture
Lovelier now, but dressed for a funeral
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall
A       Bm           G          D
Elegant clothes, you want to be seen with her
Under your tweeds you sweat like a teenager
Begging you to sit for a portrait on the wall
To hang in the dark of some parliamentary hall
A            D        G      A
Today is for you
             D             G
They laid it out for you
A
For you
              D                       G                       A
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you
         D                  G                 A
But this feels so unnatural to Peter Gabriel, too
A          Bm        G          D
All of the cards and all of the time it took
Soon it's all lines of red in a leather book
Begging you to wait for a minute by the door
Your creeping feet where they've never been before
A            D        G      A
Today is for you
             D             G
They laid it out for you
A
For you
              D                       G                       A
There will be six bells a-ringing and white women singing for you
         D                  G                 A
But this feels so unnatural to Peter Gabriel, too
