The Modern Leper

capo: 4th fret [Verse (1)] C A cripple walks amongst you F All you tired human beings C He's got all the things a cripple has not F Two working arms and legs C And vital parts fall from his system F And dissolve in scottish rain C But vitally, he doesn't miss them F He's too fucked up to care Chorus C F Well is that you in front of me? G Coming back for even more Am Of exactly the same F C F You must be a masochist G To love a modern leper Am On his last leg F C On his last leg [Verse (2)] C Well i crippled your heart a hundred times F And still can't work out why C You see, i've got this disease, i can't shake and F I'm just rattling through life C Well this is how we do things now F This is how the modern stay scared C So i cut out all the good stuff F I cut off my foot to spite my leg Chorus C F Well is that you in front of me? G Coming back for even more Am Of exactly the same F C F You must be a masochist G To love a modern leper Am On his last leg F C F Well i am ill but i'm not dead G Am And i don't know which of these i prefer F C F Because that limb which i have lost G Well it was the only Am Thing holding me up F C G Am F -- C G Am F Holding me up Bridge C Well i'm lying on the ground now G Am F And you're walking through the only door C G Well i have lost my eyesight like i said i would Am F But i still know Chorus C F Well is that you in front of me? G Coming back for even more Am Of exactly the same F C F You must be a masochist G To love a modern leper Am On his last leg F C F And you're not ill and i'm not dead G Am Doesn't that make us the perfect pair? F C F You should sit with me and we'll start again G And you can tell me all about Am What you did today F C What you did today
