Frankenstein
(Mann/Brion)
by: Mr. Maynard
(I still have this shake in my voice
And I'm going to sing you this song)
Em Bm C D
I don't know you from Adam, it could make my day
Em Bm C D
If you leave me a message I'll give it away
Em Bm C D
'Cause the most perfect strangers that you can talk to
Em Bm C D
Are the ones who pretend that you're not really you
Em D C G
Are with any attempts here to play Frankenstein
Em D F C 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 /F Em G /F# Em
Imitation
I won't find it fantastic or think it absurd Em Bm C D
When the gun in the first act goes off in the third Em Bm C D
'Cause it's rare that you ever know what to expect Em Bm C D
From a guy made of corpses with bolts in his neck Em Bm C D
If the creature is limping the parts are in place Em D C G
With a mind of its own and a fist for a face Em D F C Am
Say hello to your new creation Em D C A
Now it's better than real Em D
It's a real imitation C G /F Em G /F# Em
You may wonder what the catch is Bb A
As we batten down the hatches A F7
And when later we find that the thing we devised Em Bm C D
Has the villagers clamouring for it's demise Em Bm C D
We will have to admit the futility of Em Bm C D
Trying to make something more of this jerry-built love Em Bm C D
And you'll notice it bears a resemblance to Em D C G
Everything I imagined I wanted from you Em D F C Am
But at least it's my own creation Em D C A
And it's better than real Em D
It's a real imitation C G /F Em G /F# Em
