Cult Boyfriend

E                    D
The misfits are cult rock and roll
           A               E
Worshipped by a few but ignored on 
the whole.
E                     D
Meet the Feebles is a film cult 
classic
     A                          E
It’s basically unknown but some say 
it’s fantastic.

     E                      D
Most women that I meet seem totally 
unphased
     A                             
‘Til sometimes there’s somebody who
       E
 seems totally amazed.
          E                   
I may not be in magazines as a 
 D
heart-throb face
         A                      
But in a few devoted hearts I’ve 
         E
found a strong fanbase.

Chorus

      E                    
I'm a cult boyfriend, not a 
 D
mainstream show
    A                           
I'm lonely or I'm worshiped by a 
 E
lady in the know
              E                    
When you’re a cult boyfriend life 
 D
is always intense
     A                         
They love me or they hate me no 
       E
one’s on the fence

Verse

E               D
Cerebus is cult comic book series.
         A                         
It’s got fans but it’s never found 
   E
in movies or in theories.
E              D
WFMU is a cult radio station
Continúa después del anuncio
       A                        
Always tuned to by a few devoted 
 E
fans around the nation.

    E                          
For every time I couldn’t get a 
        D
second date or even first,
         A                         
Why does one think I’m the best 
          E
when all the rest think I’m the 
worst?
E                            D
All of those times no one at all 
wanted to know.
       A                      
If I’m really all that awesome 
          E
wouldn’t more people think so?

Chorus

        E                     D
I guess Cult Boyfriend is the term 
for me,
            A               
It’s always been quality not 
 E
quantity.

       E                           
A cult boyfriend’s like a record in
   D
 a bargain bin
       A                     
No one knows its worth ‘til a 
    E
collector comes in.

Verse

E                      D
Hmm, uh, who are some cult literary 
names I could honour?
A                      E
Maybe J. G. Ballard or Flannery 
O’Connor.
E                          D
Haggis and fugu, that’s like food 
for cult eaters.
A                          E
Jim Jones, Charles Manson, Father 
Yod, they’re cult leaders.

E                        D
Anyways the point being, do I have 
to magical?
A                                 
Can’t we date a few months then 
          E
move on normal and casual?
E                         D
Suicidally alone and then totally 
smothered –
             A                   
It’s so much pressure when you go 
            E
from one extreme to the other.

Chorus

        E                     D
I guess Cult Boyfriend is the term 
for me.
            A               
It’s always been quality not 
  E

       E                           
A cult boyfriend’s like a record in
   D
 a bargain bin:
       A

      E                    
I'm a cult boyfriend, not a 
 D
mainstream show.
    A                             
I'm lonely or I'm worshipped by a 
E
lady in the know.
              E                    
When you’re a cult boyfriend life 
 D
is always intense.
     A                    
They're in love or they're 
   E
indifferent – no one’s on the fence

    E                              
And this song probably ain’t gonna 
        D
go very far beyond an open mic.
A                                 
It’s guaranteed though, two or 
   E
three people are really gonna like 
it.
