[Verse 1]
Em                                 Bm
So you finally got what you wanted
Bm                   Am     Bm         Am   Bm  Em
You've achieved your aim by making the walking lame
Em                                     Bm
And when you just can't get any higher
Bm           Am        Bm       Am   Bm     Em
You use your senses to suss out this weeks climber
Em                                      Bm
And the small fame that you've acquired
Bm              Am        Bm
Has brought you into cult status
Am                Bm      Em
But to me you're still a collector

[Chorus 1]
        G         A           C           G
There's tarts and whores but you're much more
         G         A               C           G
You're a different kind 'cause you want their minds
        G          A                  C       G
And you just don't care 'cause you've got no pride
     G      A            C       G
It's just a face on your pillowcase
     F            Em
That thrills you

[Verse 2]
Em                                 Bm
And you started looking much older
Bm       Am       Bm      Am          Bm        Em
And your fashion sense is second rate like your perfume
Em                                        Bm
But to you in your own little dream world
Bm     Am        Bm           Am     Bm  Em
You're still the queen of the butterfly collectors

[Chorus 2]
       G     A              C        G
As you carry on 'cause it's all you know
          G       A
You can't light a fire
          C        G
You can't cook or sew
             G      A      C             G
You get from day to day by filling your head
        G           A                 C           G
But you surely must know the appeal between your legs
    F         Em
Has worn off

[Verse 3]
Em                           Bm
And I don't care about morals
Bm         Am      Bm               Am     Bm       Em
'Cause the world's insane and we're all to blame anyway
Em                          Bm
And I don't feel any sorrow
Bm          Am         Bm           Am     Bm    Em
Towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors

[Chorus 3]
        G         A          C            G
There's tarts and whores but you're much more
         G         A               C           G
You're a different kind 'cause you want their minds
        G          A           C              G
And you just don't care 'cause you've got no pride
     G      A            C       G
It's just a face on your pillowcase
     F           D
That thrills you

[Chorus 4]
       G     A              C        G
As you carry on 'cause it's all you know
          G       A
You can't light a fire
          C        G
You can't cook or sew
             G      A      C             G
You get from day to day by filling your head
        G           A                 C           G
But you surely must know the appeal between your legs
    F         Em
Has worn off

[Outro]
Em                         Bm
And I don't feel any sorrow
Bm          Am        Bm            Bm     Am         Em
Towards the kings and queens of the butterfly collectors
