[Verso 1]
Em Bm So you finally got what you wanted
Am Bm Am Bm Em You've achieved your aim by making the walking lame
Em Bm And when you just can't get any higher
Am Bm Am Bm Em You use your senses to suss out this weeks climber
Em Bm And the small fame that you've acquired
Bm Am Bm Has brought you into cult status
Am Bm Em But to me your still a collector [Chorus]
G A C G There's tarts and whores but you're much more
A C G You're a different kind 'cause you want there minds
A C G And you just don't care 'cause you've got no pride
A C G It's just a face on your pillowcase
F Em That thrills you

[Verso 2]
Em Bm And you started to looking much older
Am Bm Am Bm Em And your fashion sense is second rate like your perfume
Em Bm But to you in your little dream world
Am Bm Am Bm Em You're still the queen of the butterfly collectors [Chorus]
G A C G As you carry on 'cause it's all you know
A C G You can't light a fire, you can't cook or sew
A C G You get from day to day by filling you head
A C G But surely you must know the appeal between you legs
F Em Has worn off [Verso 3]
Em Bm And I don't care about morals
Am Bm Am Bm Em 'Cause the world's insane and we're all to blame anyway
Em Bm And I don't feel any sorrow
Am Bm Am Bm Em Towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors [Chorus]
G A C G There's tarts and whores but you're much more
A C G You're a different kind 'cause you want there minds
A C G And you just don't care 'cause you've got no pride
A C G It's just a face on your pillowcase
F Em That thrills you [Chorus]
G A C G As you carry on 'cause it's all you know
A C G You can't light a fire, you can't cook or sew
A C G You get from day to day by filling you head
A C G But surely you must know the appeal between you legs

Em Bm And I don't feel any sorrow
Am Bm Am Bm Em Towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors
