        Em            Bm       C             D 
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 
         Em     D             C           Em 
Are with any attempts here to play Frankenstein 
          Em        D           F             C  G/B Am 
Come with plenty of chances for changing your mind 
            Em            D      C    A 
When you're building your own creation 
             Em       D           C 
Nothing's better than real than a real 
G  D/F#  Em C   G  D/F# Em C 
Imitation 
 
        Em          Bm        C         D 
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 
       Em           D          C            Em 
If the creature is limping the parts are in place 
       Em          D         F          C  G/B Am 
With a mind of its own and a fist for a face 
    Em            D      C    A 
Say hello to your new creation 
         Em          D           C 
Now it's better than real it's a real  
G  D/F#  Em C   G  D/F# Em C 
Imitation 
 
Bb                      A7 
You may wonder what the catch is 
                      F7     D7 
As we batten down the hatches 
 
         Em       Bm            C          D 
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 
           Em        D         C         Em 
And you'll notice it bears a resemblance to  
     Em       D         F           C  G/B Am 
Everything I imagined I wanted from you 
       Em            D      C    A 
But at least it's my own creation 
         Em          D           C 
And it's better than real it's a real  
G  D/F#  Em C   G  D/F# Em C 
Imitation  
 
G  D/F#  Em C   G  D/F#
