[VERSE 1]
B        G
   Ugly, I'm so very ugly
    D                E            
I'm ugly, inside and out, there's 
     B
no denyin'
B        G
Love me, why would you ever love me?
   D                  E           
No one has ever loved me yet, 
    B
pretty baby
B             G
Skeleton key, it won't open up
D             E               B
It won't open any lock I have on me
B       G
Rusted, bent and rusted
     D        E        B
Your precious skeleton key


[VERSE 2]
B                       G
I spent my life, tryin' every way to
 die
   D             E               
Is it my fate to be the last one 
B
standin'?
          B                        
Don't you know it's a crime? All 
  G
the shadowy peaks I climb
    D             E          B
And I have yet to ever be remanded
     D             E          B
Yes, I have yet to ever be remanded
B     G
Holy, holy
D               E           B
All of your religions are a lie

B        G
Hold me, don't ya try to hold me
  D              E            
I clearly see my own way to the 
         B
other side
     D                  E         
Yes, I will make my own way to the
        B
 other side


[VERSE 3]
B       G
Cryin', quit your cryin'
D             E            B
Sun'll likely rise again tomorrow
       B               G
As you follow me down, through the 
underground
D              E            
I would hook a leash upon your 
   B
collar
        B                    G
Nothin' good is sustained, I gladly 
accept the blame
    D                  E          
But all my words won't add up to a
  B
 dollar
     D                  E         
Yes, all my words won't add up to 
   B
a dollar


[VERSE 4]
B        G
Love me, don't say that you love me
  D             E                 
Nobody has ever loved me yet, 
   B
pretty baby
B       G
Cryin', quit your cryin'
       D            E             
I have ten thousand tears that you
      B
 can borrow
         B              G
Come on, follow me down through the 
underground
    D              E           
And I will sing to you a song of 
   B
sorrow
       D             E            
I will sing to you a sweet, 
            B
straight song of sorrow
       D              E    
I will sing you all a sweet, 
                       B
straight song of sorrow
       D              E    
I will sing you all a sweet, 
                    B
straight song of sorrow
D             E            
Skeleton key,   where are ya? 
       B
Hey-yeah


[VERSE 5]
B             G
Skeleton key, bent and rusted
D           E                   B
All of your dreams are locked away
    B                   G
The hands have stopped, on the 
timekeeper's clock
D               E                
You have got to learn to breathe 
     B
underwater
      D                       
Yeah, you have got to breathe, 
 E               B
breathe underwater
B             G
Skeleton key, bent and rusted
   D             E                
As broken as the heart the dirt 
  B
has eaten
B        G
Love me, don't pretend to love me
     D              E              
I've lost enough to know when I am 
B
beaten
     D              E             
I've lost enough to know when I've
         B
 been beaten
     D              E             
I've lost enough to know when I've
         B
 been beaten
            D              E      
Yes, I have lost enough to know 
                B
when I've been beaten
