Strum
D-DU-UDU
 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
 Are with any  attempts  here to play  Frankenstein
 Come with plenty  of chances  for changing  your mind
 When you're building  your own  creation
 Nothing's better  than real  than a real
Imitation
 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
 If the creature  is limping  the parts  are in place
 With a mind  of its own  and a fist  for a face
 Say hello  to your new  creation
 Now it's better  than real  it's a real
Imitation
You  may wonder what the catch  is
 As we batten down the hatches
 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
 And you'll notice  it bears  a resemblance to
 Everything  I imagined  I wanted  from you
 But at least  it's my own  creation
 And it's better  than real  it's a real
Imitation
 4x

Readable chord sheet for Frankenstein by Aimee Mann

I don't [Em]know you from [Bm]Adam, it [C]could make my [D]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
Are with [Em]any att[D]empts here to [C]play Franken[Em]stein
Come with [Em]plenty of [D]chances for [F]changing your [C]min[G/B]d   [Am]
When you're [Em]building your [D]own cre[C]ation[A]
Nothing's bet[Em]ter than [D]real than a [C]real
[G]Imi[D/F#]tation[Em]   [C]       [G]          [D/F#]               [Em]                  [C]

I won't [Em]find it fant[Bm]astic or t[C]hink it ab[D]surd
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
If the [Em]creature is l[D]imping the [C]parts are in [Em]place
With a [Em]mind of its [D]own and a [F]fist for a [C]fac[G/B]e   [Am]
Say [Em]hello to your [D]new cre[C]ation[A]
Now it's [Em]better than [D]real it's a [C]real
[G]Imi[D/F#]tation[Em]   [C]       [G]          [D/F#]               [Em]                  [C]

[Bb]You may wonder what the [A7]catch is
As we batten down the [F7]hatches[D7]

And when [Em]later we [Bm]find that the [C]thing we de[D]vised
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
And you'll [Em]notice it [D]bears a re[C]semblance [Em]to
Every[Em]thing I i[D]magined I [F]wanted from [C]you[G/B]    [Am]
But at [Em]least it's my [D]own cre[C]ation[A]
And it's [Em]better than [D]real it's a [C]real
[G]Imi[D/F#]tation[Em]   [C]       [G]          [D/F#]               [Em]                  [C]
