[Intro]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
[Verse 1]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
All through the summers into January
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
I've been visiting morgues and monasteries
Dm Dm7/C Dm/B Bbmaj7
Looking for the necessary body parts
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Limbs and livers and brains and hearts
F7
I'll bring someone to life, is what I wanna do
Adim Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
I wanna create my own version of you
[Verse 2]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Well, it must be the winter of my discontent
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
I wish you'd've taken me with you wherever you went
Dm Dm7/C Dm/B Bbmaj7
They talk all night and they talk all day
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Not for a minute do I believe anything they say
F7
I'm gon' bring someone to life, someone I've never seen
Adim Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
You know what I mean, you know exactly what I mean
[Verse 3]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
I'll take the Scarface Pacino and The Godfather Brando
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Mix it up in a tank and get a robot commando
Dm Dm7/C Dm/B Bbmaj7
If I do it upright and put the head on straight
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
I'll be saved by the creature that I create
[Verse 4]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
I'll get blood from a cactus, gunpowder from ice
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
I don't gamble with cards and I don't shoot no dice
Dm Dm7/C Dm/B Bbmaj7
Can you look at my face with your sightless eyes?
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Can you cross your heart and hope to die?
F7
I'll bring someone to life, someone for real
Adim Am Am7/G Am/F# F7 Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Someone who feels the way that I feel
[Verse 5]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
I study Sanskrit and Arabic to improve my mind
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
I wanna do things for the benefit of all mankind
Dm Dm7/C Dm/B Bbmaj7
I say to the willow tree, "Don't weep for me"
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
I'm saying to hell to all things that I used to be
[Verse 6]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Well, I get into trouble then I hit the wall
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
No place to turn, no place at all
Dm Dm7/C Dm/B Bbmaj7
I'll pick a number between a-one and two
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
And I ask myself, "What would Julius Caesar do?"
F7
I will bring someone to life in more ways than one
Adim
Don't matter how long it takes,
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7 Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
it'll be done when it's done
[Verse 7]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
I'm gonna make you play the piano like Leon Russell
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Like Liberace, like St. John the Apostle
Dm Dm7/C Dm/B Bbmaj7
I'll play every number that I can play
Bm Am7/G Am/F# F7
I'll see you maybe on Judgment Day
[Verse 8]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
After midnight, if you still wanna meet
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
I'll be at the Black Horse Tavern on Armageddon Street
Dm Dm7/C Dm/B Bbmaj7
Two doors down, not that far a walk
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
I'll hear your footsteps, you won't have to knock
F7
I'll bring someone to life, balance the scales
Adim Am Am7/G Am/F# F7 Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
I'm not gonna get involved any insignificant details
[Verse 9]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
You can bring it to St. Peter You can bring it to Jerome
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
You can bring it all the way over bring it all the way home
Dm Dm7/C Dm/B Bbmaj7
Bring it to the corner where the children play
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
You can bring it to me on a silver tray
F7
I'll bring someone to life, spare no expense
Adim
Do it with decency and common sense
[Instrumental]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
[Verse 10]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Can you tell me what it means to be or not to be?
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
You won't get away with fooling me
Dm Dm7/C Dm/B Bbmaj7
Can you help me walk that moonlight mile?
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Can you give me the blessings of your smile?
F7
I'll bring someone to life, use all of my powers
Adim Am Am7/G Am/F# F7 Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Do it in the dark, in the wee, small hours
[Verse 11]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
I can see the history of the whole human race
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
It's all right there it's carved into your face
Dm Dm7/C Dm/B Bbmaj7
Should I break it all down? Should I fall on my knees?
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Is there light at the end of the tunnel, can you tell me, please?
[Verse 12]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Stand over there by the cypress tree
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Where the Trojan women and children were sold into slavery
Dm Dm7/C Dm/B Bbmaj7
Long before the first Crusade
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Way back before England or America were made
[Verse 13]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Step right in to the burning hell
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Where some of the best-known enemies of mankind dwell
Dm Dm7/C Dm/B Bbmaj7
Mr. Freud with his dreams, Mr. Marx with his axe
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
See the raw hide lash rip the skin from their backs
[Verse 14]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Got the right spirit, you can feel it, you can hear it
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
You've got what they call the immortal spirit
Dm Dm7/C Dm/B Bbmaj7
You can feel it all night you can feel it in the morn'
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
It creeps in your body the day you were born
[Verse 15]
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
One strike of lightning is all that I need
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
And a blast of electricity that runs at top speed
Dm Dm7/C Dm/B Bbmaj7
Shimmy your ribs I'll stick in the knife
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
Gonna jumpstart my creation to life
F7
I wanna bring someone to life, turn back the years
Adim
Do it with laughter and do it with tears
[Outro]
(Fade out)
Am Am7/G Am/F# F7
