Capotraste na 2ª casa
Em Bm C D
I don't know you from Adam, it could make my day
If you leave me a message I'll give it away
'Cause the most perfect strangers that you can talk to
Are the ones who pretend that you're not really you
Em D C Em
Are with any attempts here to play Frankenstein
Em D F C G/B Am
Come with plenty of chances for changing your mind
Em D C A
When you're building your own creation
Em D C
Nothing's better than real than a real
G D/F# Em C G D/F# Em C
Imitation
Em Bm C D
I won't find it fantastic or think it absurd
When the gun in the first act goes off in the third
'Cause it's rare that you ever know what to expect
From a guy made of corpses with bolts in his neck
Em D C Em
If the creature is limping the parts are in place
Em D F C G/B Am
With a mind of its own and a fist for a face
Em D C A
Say hello to your new creation
Em D C
Now it's better than real it's a real
G D/F# Em C G D/F# Em C
Imitation
Bb A7
You may wonder what the catch is
F7 D7
As we batten down the hatches
Em Bm C D
And when later we find that the thing we devised
Has the villagers clamouring for it's demise
We will have to admit the futility of
Trying to make something more of this jerry-built love
Em D C Em
And you'll notice it bears a resemblance to
Em D F C G/B Am
Everything I imagined I wanted from you
Em D C A
But at least it's my own creation
Em D C
And it's better than real it's a real
G D/F# Em C G D/F# Em C
