This is an extremely simple version of this song. Bass notes can be added,
just play the chords, and find a finger picking pattern that works well for
you and that you think sounds good!

Enjoy!


Intro Notes:  D E C# D G F# D B x4

Intro Chords: D          A    G

D         A     G
Oh what a noble distinguished collection
   D           A                G
of fine little friends you have made
D           A      G
hitting the tables without you again,
          D          A             G
"no we'll wait no we promise we'll wait"
     D                A         G
well June makes these excellent sewing machines
       D      A          G
out of common industrial waste
    D            A           G
she spends a few months at a time on the couch
          D              A                G
but she's safe she wears shades she wears shades

       Em                      A               D        A  G
oh but no one can stare at the wall as good as you my baby doll
           Em              A
and you're aces for coming along
              D         A  G
you’re almost human, after all
           Em                             A     
and you’re learning that just ‘cause they call themselves friends
        D    A       G
doesn’t mean they’ll call...

Em                       (A)
they made the comment in jest
Em
but you’ve got the needle
Em                             A
i guess that’s the point of it all


Intro


D       A           G                  
maybe a week in the tropics would help
   D              A             G
to remind you how nice life can be
   D                 A       G
we propped you right up in a chair on a deck
       D         A           G
with a beautiful view of the sea
      D            A        G
but a couple weeks later we came back
                D          A             G
and you and the chair were nowhere to be seen
        D         A            G
you had magically moved to the closet
                  D               A         G
eyes fixed to the place where the dryer had been

        Em                      A               D         A G
oh, but no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my babydoll
           Em              A
and you’re aces for coming along
              D         A  G
you’re almost human, after all
       Em                             A 
why on earth would i keep you propped up in here
             D   A
when you so love the 
G
fall...?

Em                            (A)
the pattern’s laid out on the bed
Em                       (A)
with dozens of colors of thread
Em
but you’ve got the needle
Em                 A
i guess that’s the point in the end


Intro


         D         A              G
but it’s better to waste your day watching the scenery
D           A        G
change at a comatose rate
        D            A         G
than to put yourself in it and turn into one of those
D         A            G
cigarette ads that you hate
    D              A             G
but while you were sleeping some men came around
          D        A             G
said they had some dimensions to take
D            A              G     
i’m not sure what they were talking about
         D           A            G
but they sure made a mess of your face

           Em                      A               D         A G
but still, no one can stare at the wall as good as you, my babydoll
           Em               A
and you’re aces for playing along
              D        A  G
you’re almost human, even now

    Em                               A
and just ‘cause they call themselves experts
                D     A    G
it doesn’t mean sweet fuck all...
Em                        (A)
they’ve got the permanent press
        Em                  (A)
and the homes with a stable address
