EDAE is repeated throughout the song.

Verse
E MajorE          D MajorD
The misfits are cult rock and roll

Worshipped by a few but ignored on the whole.

Meet the Feebles is a film cult classic
   A augmentedA             E MajorE
It?s basically unknown but some say it?s fantastic.

   E MajorE           D MajorD
Most women that I meet seem totally unphased
   A augmentedA                  E MajorE
?Til sometimes there?s somebody who seems totally amazed.
     E MajorE          D MajorD
I may not be in magazines as a heart-throb face
     A augmentedA                E MajorE
But in a few devoted hearts I?ve found a strong fanbase.

Chorus

   E MajorE           D MajorD
I'm a cult boyfriend, not a mainstream show
  A augmentedA              E MajorE
I'm lonely or I'm worshiped by a lady in the know
       E MajorE           D MajorD
When you?re a cult boyfriend life?s always intense
   A augmentedA                E MajorE
They love me or they hate me no one?s on the fence

Verse

E MajorE        D MajorD
Cerebus is cult comic book series.

It?s got fans but it?s never found in movies or in theories.
E MajorE       D MajorD
WFMU is a cult radio station
    A augmentedA             E MajorE
Always tuned to by a few devoted fans around the nation.

  E MajorE                 D MajorD
For every time I couldn?t get a second date or even first,
     A augmentedA                  E MajorE
Why does one think I?m the best when all the rest think I?m the worst?
E MajorE              D MajorD
All of those times no one at all wanted to know.
    A augmentedA                E MajorE
If I?m really all that awesome wouldn?t more people think so?

Chorus

    E MajorE           D MajorD
I guess Cult Boyfriend is the term for me,
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
It?s always been quality not quantity.

    E MajorE               D MajorD
A augmentedA cult boyfriend?s like a record in a bargain bin
    A augmentedA             E MajorE
No one knows its worth ?til a collector comes in.

Verse

Hmm, who are some cult literary names I could honour?
A augmentedA           E MajorE
Maybe J. G. Ballard or Flannery O?Connor.
E MajorE             D MajorD
Haggis and fugu, that?s like food for cult eaters.
A augmentedA             E MajorE
Jim Jones, Charles Manson, Father Yod, they?re cult leaders.

E MajorE            D MajorD
Anyways the point being, do I have to magical?
A augmentedA                      E MajorE
Can?t we date a few months and then move on normal and casual?
E MajorE             D MajorD
Suicidally alone and then totally smothered ?
       A augmentedA                E MajorE
It?s so much pressure when you go from one extreme to the other.

Chorus

And this song probably ain?t gonna go very far beyond an open mic.
A augmentedA                  E MajorE
It?s guaranteed though, two or three people are really gonna like it.
