(capo up 2 frets)
(I still have the shake in my voice
And I'm going to sing you this song)
MIm SIm DO RE
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
MIm RE DO MIm
Are with any attempts here to play Frankenstein
MIm RE FA DO SOL/SI LAm
Come with plenty of chances for changing your mind
MIm RE DO LA
When you're building your own creation
MIm RE DO
Nothing's better than real than a real
SOL RE/FA# MIm DO SOL RE/FA# MIm DO
Imitation
MIm SIm DO RE
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
MIm RE DO MIm
If the creature is limping the parts are in place
MIm RE FA DO SOL/SI LAm
With a mind of its own and a fist for a face
MIm RE DO LA
Say hello to your new creation
MIm RE DO
Now it's better than real it's a real
SOL RE/FA# MIm DO SOL RE/FA# MIm DO
Imitation

You may wonder what the catch is
FA7 RE7
As we batten down the hatches
MIm SIm DO RE
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
MIm RE DO MIm
And you'll notice it bears a resemblance to
MIm RE FA DO SOL/SI LAm
Everything I imagined I wanted from you
MIm RE DO LA
But at least it's my own creation
MIm RE DO
And it's better than real it's a real
SOL RE/FA# MIm DO SOL RE/FA# MIm DO
Imitation
SOL RE/FA# MIm DO SOL RE/FA#
