[Verse 1]
(Play tab above throughout verse)
A cripple walks amongst you all,
you tired human beings
He's got all the things a cripple 
has
not two working arms and legs
And vital parts fall from his system
and dissolve in Scottish rain
D                                 
Vitally he doesn't miss them He's 
                 G    A
too fucked up to care

[Chorus]
         D                G       
Is that you in front of me? Coming
            A                      
 back for even more of exactly the 
 Bm
same?
          D          G            
You must be a masochist, to love a
         A                Bm
 modern leper on his last leg.
        G
On his last leg

[Verse 2]
(2nd verse same chords as 1st)
I've crippled your heart a hundred 
times
and still can't work out why
See, I've got this disease, I can't 
shake and I'm just rattling through 
life
Well, oh, this is how we do things 
now,
yeah this is how the modern stay 
scared
So I cut out all the good stuff 
Yeah,
I cut off my foot to spite my leg

[Chorus]
        D               G         
Is that you in front of me? Coming
            A                      
 back for even more of exactly the 
Bm
same?
         D            G           
You must be a masochist, to love a
         A                 Bm
 modern leper on his last leg.
G       D                 G     
  I am ill but I'm not dead and 
              A                
I don't know which of those I'd 
    Bm
prefer
              D                  G
Because that limb which I have 
                A                  
lost, it was the only thing holding
Bm
 me up

G     (strumming rhythm changes) D  
  A   Bm   G        D    A   Bm   G
Holding me                      
uuuuuuuuuuuppp

[Bridge]
D                                 
I'm lying on the ground now and 
   A                   Bm     G
you walk in through the only door
      D                            
Well, I have lost my eyesight like 
  A                Bm        G
I said I would But I still knowwwww

[Verse]
A              D                G
  That that is you in front of me
                      A          
and you are back for even more of 
              Bm    G
exactly the same
           D            G         
Well, are you a masochist? You 
            A                Bm  G
love a modern leper on his last leg
            D                 G
You're not ill and I'm not dead. 
                  A             
Doesn't that make us the perfect 
    Bm  G
pair?
                    D           
You should sit with me and we'll 
        G
start again.
                 A                 
And you can tell me all about what 
    Bm
you did today
      G       D
What you did today.
