Intro:  A  E D  E A   E D  (repeat) 
 
A                       D       E 
I've been contemplating suicide, 
A                     D             E    
but it really doesn't suit my style, 
A                        D             E 
so I think I'll just act bored instead 
A                              D       E 
who can take the blood I would've shed? 
 
She makes me feel so ugly   
my heart is really on it's knees 
but I keep a poker face so well 
that even mother couldn't tell 
 
Chorus: 
       A                     D 
But my baby's so vain she is almost a mirror 
        A                         D 
and the sound of her name sends a permanent shiver down my 
A     D           A     D 
Spiiiine, down my Spiiiine 
 
I keep her photograph against my heart 
for in my life she plays a starring part 
all alcohol and cigarettes 
there is no room for cheap regrets 
 
Chorus 
 
She makes me feel so ugly 
my heart is really on it's knees 
but I keep a poker face so well 
that even mother couldn't tell 
 
Chorus and fade
