Intro: Dm Bb A (x2) 


Dm 
And so around 3 AM, 

A recently deceased man 
Bb                                  A 
Found himself wound in the land of living again 

Dm 
Bound in a body, 

Of gears and wheels but oddly 
Bb                                     A 
He has no voice and his steel joints barely can bend 

    Dm  
The one sound he makes in fact 

He streams radio broadcasts 
    Bb                             A 
He plays a country station if you give him a pat 

     Dm  
Our dearest Annabel is 

Quite thrilled and ecstatic 
    Bb                                  A 
She has a friend who just was dead and yet she brought back 


Interlude G D Em D 
           C G Bb C 

G          D     
What may please does not content  
Em         D 
All resolves but never ends 
C          G 
All that comforts is not true 
Bb 
All you love does not love you 


D          C           D              C 
I have a dolly and we like to go on walks 
            D                 C                  G 
We like to stroll around the park all while he listens to me talk 
           D               C             D           C 
About the people and the places that I never got to see 
          D                 C                   G 
?Cause I wouldn't leave my house, but that's before he was with me 

G           A                G           A                G 
We share a world, which is wonderful to see it's like a dream 
                A              C 
where no one calls me failure if I don't succeed 

D          C               D               C 
I have a dolly it's like flowers in the spring 
            D            C              G 
And but no matter how I talk to him he never says a thing 


G          D     
What may please does not content  
Em         D 
All resolves but never ends 
C          G 
All that comforts is not true 
Bb 
All you love does not love you 

D         C            D              C 
I have a dolly and he goes with me outside 
              D             C              G 
which used to be a problem for me, oh but now I never mind 
D               C           D                  C 
Ice cream and carriages I always thought were nice 
          D                C               G 
But never had someone to share them with because the lab's my life 

G               A                  G                A 
Annabelle no friends you must be brilliant and the best 
              G          A              A 
You must be better and industrious, or you are worthless 

     D           C            D                C 
But now I have dolly a dear friend with whom I go 
          D                 C                    G 
Out for walks and talks but he's mute and just plays the radio 


     D   A 
Elysium 
     Em                  F#m 
The place the when your sorrows end 
G          D              A 
Why?d you bring me here again 


D          C             D         C 
I have a dolly who can keep me company 
          D                   C               G 
We go to shows, parades and cabarets though people stare at me 
          D                 C                 D                 C 
But I've shown that I am brilliant and I've conquered life and death 
           D              C                G 
The only thing my father said is that one must be a success 

G             A                G               A 
And now I've got a friend, a silent clockwork double 
        G                A              A 
Who can be there for me to lean on when I feel sad and troubled 

D          C               D       C              
I have a dolly, and he's very stabling,  
           D                C               G 
If not a little just too distant, cause he never says a thing 


G         D 
What you hold may wish to go 
Em           D 
What you believe may not be so 
C          G 
All that brings you piece of mind 
Bb 
May not stay for a long time 

G          D     
What may please does not content  
Em         D 
All resolves but never ends 
C          G 
All that comforts is not true 
Bb 
All you love does not love you 


C                   F 
Can?t you speak to me? 
C                   F 
Won?t you speak to me? 
C                         Am 
All the things we could share and conceive 
    F 
If you?d just speak to me 


     D   A 
Elysium 
     Em                  F#m 
The place the when your sorrows end 
G          D 
Why?d you bring me here 
G             D 
Oh why'd you bring me here 
G           D             A 
Why'd you bring me here again?
