E D2 A2
I've seen your severed head at a banquet for the dead,
E D2 A2
All dressed up for dinner looked so fine.
E D2 A2
Your shining silver salver so tastefully powdered
E D2 A
with the finest milit'ry quick lime.

E D2 A2
Now try and picture this, as I gave you a kiss
E D2 A2
The apple in your mouth slips in mine.
E D2 A2
The orchestra played the sweetest serenade,
E D2 A
We laughed as we put away your wine.
Pre-Chorus 1
B
So raise your glasses,
A2 E
Here's a toast to wasted lives,
E7M/D# A2
May all their ghosts come back to haunt you
B-
and tell you how they died
Chorus 1
E7M E7M/D#F#m7alt
Does it feel any better now, does it mean any more?
E A7M
When the angel of death comes knock, knocking
B E
And banging at your door?

E D2 A2
When all the fun was over, I put you on my shoulder
E D2 A2
Took you home away from it all.
E D2 A2
Shot down and claimed, mounted and framed
E D2 A
Tastefully hung up on my wall.
Pre-chorus 2
B
Are my dreams your nightmares?
A2 E
I hope they all come true.
E7M/D# A2
Get off your knees the party's over,
B-
I'm coming home to you
