Shabby Doll(Chords)

	        Intro: Em   Em6  C/E  Em

Em
Giving you more of what for
            Em
Always worked for me before
          D            Em
Now I'm a shabby doll
Em                                   D
What's going on behind the green elevator door
Em          D             Em
With just a shabby doll
          Am
There's a hit man facing
    Am
A compromising situation
              Em
With just a shabby doll
                                        D
And a very neat line in character assassination
Em           D             Em
She's just a shabby doll

D            A
She's just a shabby doll
      D                   A
She's putting him off and putting you on 
D              A           D               A
She's just the shabby doll, she's just the shabby doll
       D              A                      D
You're swearing upon, you know in your heart
D              A                     Em
She's gone you know in your heart
                 Em
She's just a shabby doll


Em
There's a girl in this dress
                 Em
There's always a girl in distress 
             D              Em
She's just a shabby doll
                 Em
She's so sure she's self-possessed
      D                         Em
Then again she's half undressed
             D             Em
She's just a shabby doll

    Am
The boy that I used to be
    Am
Showed no sign of sympathy
           Em
For just a shabby doll
                 Em
I have betrayed you and me
            D                 Em
And paid for my own bribery
            D           Em
With just a shabby doll

**Chorus

Bridge:
A/E                      Dmaj7 
He's the tired toy that everyone enjoyed
   A/E                              D
He wants to be a fancy man but he's nothing but a nancy boy
C                     B
He's all pride and no joy

Em
And being what you might call a whore
                 Em
Always worked for me before
          D           Em
Now I'm a shabby doll 
                 Em
Untie the gag the cat's out of the bag 
    D                    Em
But won't show his claws
            D
He's just a shabby doll

Am
She said you must be joking
                 Em
Some things are left unspoken 
              Em
You're just a shabby doll
                 Em
He's lying limp and soaking
           D         Em
He was openly broken
          D
By just a shabby doll

**Chorus
