BINKY THE DOORMAT

From: Joshua J.B. Smith


{Main Riff}:   e---44--44-----4-|---22--22-----2-
               B----------------|----------------
               G-4---4----3/4---|-2---2----1/2---


{Main Riff}
This is horror movie stuff.
the muffin is peach, you're 'makin' love'.
You mean this opera involves handcuffs?
I lay defeated.

Yeah, sour milk mouth, horseradish sweet.
she's a girl and she's loving me
but distance is my tendency.
I am defeated


A5       C5        G5       Bb5 / / / A5 G5 / A5 /
Have you lost your place?
A5        C5      G5
I wore my doormat face.
A5        C5       G5       Bb5 / / / A5 G5 / A5 /
I hung my this or that.
A5        C5      G5
I laid my welcome mat.


{Main riff}
If I'm your oyster, where's the war?
You leave me gasping, tattered and torn.
I know you can't find a fork.
I am just a little acorn.

Well, acorns grow to mighty trees.
You've got sauce, but you don't have knees.
Now look who's asking pretty please.
I lay defeated.


A5       C5        G5       Bb5 / / / A5 G5 / A5 /
Have you lost your place?
A5        C5      G5
I wore my doormat face.
A5        C5       G5       Bb5 / / / A5 G5 / A5 /
I hung my this or that.
A5        C5      G5
I laid my welcome mat.



{Bridge}:       D----|C--B-A|  4 Times



{Main riff}
Call your bathroom friends around.
I will fake a little frown.
I will be your little clown,
easily defeated.

Yeah, shut the door and open wide.
seconal and astroglide.
fuck with me and traumatize.
don't you see I love your hide?

All the beauty that's trapped inside.
Can't you see I love your hide.
Can't you see I love your hide.
Can't you see it?


A5       C5        G5       Bb5 / / / A5 G5 / A5 /
Have you lost your place?
A5        C5      G5
I wore my doormat face.
A5        C5       G5       Bb5 / / / A5 G5 / A5 /
I hung my this or that.
A5        C5      G5
I laid my welcome mat.

A5       C5        G5       Bb5 / / / A5 G5 / A5 /
Have you lost your place?
A5        C5      G5
I wore my doormat face.
A5        C5       G5       Bb5 / / / A5 G5 / A5 /
I hung my this or that.
A5        C5      G5
I laid my welcome mat.
