       Em

So you finally got what you wanted

        Am7          Bm7

You've achieved your aim

   Am7        Bm7     Em

By making the walking lame

             Em         Bm7

And when you just can't higher

    Am7      Bm7

You use your senses

   Am7      Bm7        Em

To suss out this weeks climber

        Em                        Bm7

And the small flame that you've acquired

               Am7       Bm7

Has bought you into cult status

       Am7       Bm7         Em

But to me you're still a collector

        G         A

There's tarts and whores

    C           G     D

But you're much more

         G         A

You're a different kind

        C          G      D

Cos you want their minds

        G          A

And you just don't care

           C      G      D

Cos you've got no pride

     G         A

It's just that face

        C     G     D

On your pillowcase

     F          Em

That fools you

           Em                   Bm7

And you've started looking much older

           Am7     Bm7      Am7    Bm7

And you're fashion sense is second rate

          Em

Like your perfume

       Em                  Bm7

But to you in your amateur dream world

       Am7       Bm7

You're still the Queen

       Am7   Bm7 Em

Of the butterfly collectors

        G     A

And you carry on

         C       G     D

Cos it's all you know

          G       A

You can't light a fire

          C       G    D

You can't cook or sew

             G      A

You get from day to day

   C            G     D

By filling your head

        G           A

But you surely must know

              C         G

The thrill between your legs

    F         Em

Has worn off

    Em                 Bm7

And I don't care about morals

           Am7       Bm7

Oh cos the world's insane

          Am7    Bm7        Em

And we're all to blame in a way

    Em               Bm7

And I don't feel any sorrow

            Am7       Bm7

Towards the Kings and Queens

       Am7   Bm7    Em

Of the butterfly collectors

        G         A

There's tarts and whores

    C           G     D

But you're much more

         G         A

You're a different kind

        C          G      D

Cos you want their minds

        G          A

And you just don't care

           C      G      D

Cos you've got no pride

     G         A

It's just that face

        C     G     D

On your pillowcase

     F          D

That fools you

        G     A

And you carry on

         C       G     D

Cos it's all you know

          G       A

You can't light a fire

          C       G    D

You can't cook or sew

             G      A

You get from day to day

   C            G     D

By filling your head

        G           A

But you surely must know

              C         G

The thrill between your legs

    F         Em

Has worn off

    Em               Bm7

And I don't feel any sorrow

            Am7       Bm7

Towards the Kings and Queens

       Am7   Bm7    Em       Em
