Sword of Damocles – Rocky Horror Picture Show (Richard O’Brian)

Am                       D               Am     D
The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head
Am                                  D                    Am      D
And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread
C#         D
Oh, woe is me
E             Am
My life is a misery
C#         D
Oh, can't you see
E                                              D C# C Am
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer

I woke up this morning with a start when I fell out of bed (That ain't no crime)
And left from my dreaming was a feeling of unnameable dread (That ain't no crime)
My high is low
I'm dressed up with no place to go
And all I know
Is I'm at the start of a pretty big downer (Oh, Rocky!)

Am         D
Sha la la la
That ain't no crime (Oh no no no)
Am        D
Sha la la la
That ain't no crime  (Oh no no no)
Am         D
Sha la la la
                                     E     D C# C Am
That ain't no crime, that ain't no crime

The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head (That ain't no crime)
And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread (That ain't no crime)
Oh, woe is me
My life is a mystery
And can't you see
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer

Sha la la la
That ain't no crime 
Oh no no no 
Sha la la la
That ain't no crime 
Oh no no no 
Sha la la la
That ain't no crime, that ain't no crime (x2)
