E|-----------------------------------------|
B|-----------------------------------------|
[VERSE 1]
BG
Ugly, I'm so very ugly
DEB
I'm ugly, inside and out, there's no denyin'
BG
Love me, why would you ever love me?
DEB
No one has ever loved me yet, pretty baby
BG
Skeleton key, it won't open up
DEB
It won't open any lock I have on me
BG
Rusted, bent and rusted
DEB
Your precious skeleton key
[VERSE 2]
BG
I spent my life, tryin' every way to die
DEB
Is it my fate to be the last one standin'?
BG
Don't you know it's a crime? All the shadowy peaks I climb
DEB
And I have yet to ever be remanded
DEB
Yes, I have yet to ever be remanded
BG
Holy, holy
DEB
All of your religions are a lie
BG
Hold me, don't ya try to hold me
DEB
I clearly see my own way to the other side
DEB
Yes, I will make my own way to the other side
[VERSE 3]
BG
Cryin', quit your cryin'
DEB
Sun'll likely rise again tomorrow
BG
As you follow me down, through the underground
DEB
I would hook a leash upon your collar
BG
Nothin' good is sustained, I gladly accept the blame
DEB
But all my words won't add up to a dollar
DEB
Yes, all my words won't add up to a dollar
[VERSE 4]
BG
Love me, don't say that you love me
DEB
Nobody has ever loved me yet, pretty baby
BG
Cryin', quit your cryin'
DEB
I have ten thousand tears that you can borrow
BG
Come on, follow me down through the underground
DEB
And I will sing to you a song of sorrow
DEB
I will sing to you a sweet, straight song of sorrow
DEB
I will sing you all a sweet, straight song of sorrow
DEB
I will sing you all a sweet, straight song of sorrow
DEB
Skeleton key, where are ya? Hey-yeah
[VERSE 5]
BG
Skeleton key, bent and rusted
DEB
All of your dreams are locked away
BG
The hands have stopped, on the timekeeper's clock
DEB
You have got to learn to breathe underwater
DEB
Yeah, you have got to breathe, breathe underwater
BG
Skeleton key, bent and rusted
DEB
As broken as the heart the dirt has eaten
BG
Love me, don't pretend to love me
DEB
I've lost enough to know when I am beaten
DEB
I've lost enough to know when I've been beaten
DEB
I've lost enough to know when I've been beaten
DEB
Yes, I have lost enough to know when I've been beaten
