Poor Napoleon

	  		C C/B C C/B  

C                           Em/B              Gm/Bb  
I can't lie on this bed anymore it burns my skin  
F/A                                     Fm/Ab  
You can take the truthful things you've said to me  
     D/F#                      F  G  
And fit them on the head of a pin  
      C       F Dm G  
Poor Napoleon  

    C                    Em/B   Gm/Bb  
You always look so disappointed when I take my stockings off  
F/A                          Fm/Ab  
Don't you know the facts of life boy  
D/F#                              F  
Don't you know what these things cost?  
C                       Em/B       Gm/Bb  
She was selling stolen kisses to travelling salesmen and minstrel singers  
F/A             Fm/Ab  
You put a penny in the slot  
D/F#                F             G  
She called you her magic fingers  

      C       F Dm G 
Poor Napoleon  
      C       F Dm G 
Poor Napoleon  

  E                        E/G#  
I bet she isn't all that's advertised  
  Am                      C  
I bet that isn't all she fakes  
D                                Eb  
Just like that place where they take your spine  
     F                 Eb D 
And turn it into soapfla---akes  

C C/B  C C/B 
C C/B  C C/B 

C                    Em/B          Gm/Bb  
Bare wires from the socket to the bed where you embraced that girl  
F/A            Fm/Ab                D/F#       F  
Did you ever think there's far too many people in the world?  
C                         Em/B        Gm/Bb  
One day they'll probably make a movie out of all of this  
F/A               Fm/Ab        D/F#           F                 G  
There won't even have to be a murder just a slow dissolving kiss  

      C       F Dm G  
Poor Napoleon 

    C                   F              Dm                         G                           
So good night little schoolboy, you'd better learn some self control 
 C                     F         Dm             G           C F Dm  G 
Did you mess up your hairstyle, pour scorn in your begging bo---owl 

      C     
Poor Napoleon
