[Verse 1]
B              E        B
Sister's ill - she said she took the
 devil's advice
E       B           E B
She's a queer girl - alone with the 
frank and crude facts of life
E        F#      B         E   
She said she was born ugly but 
               F#      B
now she's just tickled pink
        F#           B    E      
When baptised in a sexual way she
      F#         B      E      
 just screams it stinks and it 
F#
stings

[Chorus]
B         F#     E     F#
She won't ever kiss you
B         F#     E      F#
She won't ever touch you
B         F#     E
She won't ever kiss you
            C#     N.C.             
         B     E B   E B
When she's awake - You'll have to 
put her to sleep

[Verse 2]
E              B           E    
Welcome to her closet world - 
       B                  E
she said sickness begins in here
        B          E  B          
She's a savage girl - wishing she
               E            F#
 hadn't caught him looking again
E          F#   B            E 
She smiles a disarming smile 
                        F#    B   E
that makes her sweat from every pour
B     F#            B       E  
No man could have invented it -
          F#    B     E          
 ugly she said born - and she'll 
F#
stay

[Chorus]
B         F#     E     F#
She won't ever kiss you

[Verse 3]
B          E    B               
Hate galore - a diary filled 
             E
with passionate hate
        B             E      B   
She's a hopeless cause - 
                   E          F#
sometimes I feel less than one is 
now all she writes
E      F#        B       
She's out - in search of the 
     E         B         F#      
apocalypse is the message on her 
    B       E
answerphone
B            F#    B    E    B
The truth is she's bone idle 
       F#           B        E   
now she never leaves home and 
    F#
never will

[Chorus]
B         F#     E     F#
She won't ever kiss you
B         F#     E      F#
She won't ever touch you
B         F#     E
She won't ever kiss you
            C#                  
When she's awake - That's is she 
           E    G#m
ever awakes at all

[Verse 4]
    F#          B N.C.
She said it was Sod's law that soon 
she would self destruct
N.C.
What am I waiting for she said - I 
already wake up in a pool of piss
E     F#      B         E      
She remembers innocence like an
         F#     B   E
 exhibit in a museum
    F#      B          E         
She knows embarrassment it's the 
           F#       B    E
only thing she ever feels
         F#  B      E            
She said her mother told her that
            F#         B     E
 she nearly had her destroyed
            F#              B     
An abortion would have been better
         E           F#       
 than this her ghost would have 
    B
enjoyed
E           F#
Life's half jokes

[Chorus]
B         F#     E     F#
She won't ever kiss you
B         F#     E      F#
She won't ever touch you
B         F#     E
She won't ever kiss you
            C#  F#
When she's awake
B         F#     E     F#
She won't ever kiss you
B         F#     E      F#
She won't ever touch you
B         F#     E
She won't ever kiss you
            C#     F#             
When she's awake - You'll have to 
           B
put her to sleep
