INTRO/VERSE:

e                   D    C
Watch this picture blow
 It makes you wonder
Bless this broken low
 It takes time to explain to you

BRIDGE:
     C                                  D
That underneath your skin            is mother dear
And if you paint your face again you'll disappear
              G     D
How you gonna feel?
   C                            e
If Superman and Sonic Youth are fairy tales
                      a
It's time to face the truth
       C
You'll throw your life away
  a                     G    D
A woman dressed as Baby Jane

CHORUS:

       e       C       G             D
Like a phantom of the American Mother
It's here again      it's here
Like a phantom of the American Mother
