INTRO (2 times): G5 D5 C5 G(no 5) C5 D5


VERSE 1

G                  C G
Trash and vaudeville

G                           C G 
Tight dresses and painted faces

G                         C G
It's time to free the lions

G                   C G
From the circus cages

Jaded baby
Come whisper in my ear
Better come closer 'cause
The music is loud here

PD-C HORUS

C         G           D
I'm the monkey that you've always been afraid of

C         G           D
I'm the spirit that haunts your dreams

C      G
Deep inside
            D                      C    D
Don't you have a little bit of sympathy

CHORUS

Don't you want to
              G
Give me some affection
                D    C
Why is it so hard

VERSE 2
Don't you get tired
Same smilin' faces
Don't you get a little bit lonely
Hiding in crowded places

Don't trust the stranger
You should know better
But this heart of darkness
Can be your shelter

PD-C HORUS
I ain't rich enough I really don't belong here
I don't want to meet your mommy and daddy
I ain't good lookin' but you get used to it like I did

CHORUS
Don't you want to
Give me some affection
Why is it so hard
