[Verse]
E C#m F#m
Born to multiply or born to gaze into night skies,
F#m G#m A G#m F#m
all you want's one more Saturday.
E C#m
But look here, until then
F#m
They're gonna buy your life's time
F#m G#m A G#m F#m
So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
[Chorus]
B E
Til the day, we come in doing cartwheels
B E
We all crawl out by ourselves, and your shape on the dance floor
B
Will have me thinking such filth I'll gouge my eyes.
C#m A
You'll be damned to be one of us girl
C#m A
Faced with the dodo's conundrum
E F#m A
I felt like I could just fly
G#m B A G#m F#m
But nothing happened every time I tried.
[Verse]
E C#m F#m
Duotone on the wall, the selfless fool who hoped he'd saved us all
F#m G#m A G#m F#m
never dreamt of such sterile hands
E C#m F#m
You keep them folded in your lap, or raise them up to beg for scraps
F#m G#m A G#m F#m B
You know he's holding you down with the tips of his fingers, just the same
[Chorus]
E B
Will you be pulled from the ocean? But just a minute too late?
E B
Or changed by a potion, and find a handsome young mate for you to love
C#m A
you'll be damned to pining through the window panes, you know
C#m A E F#m A
you'll trade your life for any ordinary joe's, well do it now or grow old
G#m B A G#m F#m
Cos your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold
[Solo]
E C#m F#m G#m A G#m F#m x2
[Bridge]
B E
Been alone since you were 21, you haven't laughed since January
B E
You try and make like this is so much fun, but we know it to be be quite contrary
B
La la la la la la
[Chorus]
C#m A C#m A
Dare to be one of us, girl, facing the android's conundrum
E F#m A
I felt like I should just cry
G#m A
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin
G#m A
Yeah Himmler in your coat you don't know how long I've been
G#m A G#m A
Watching the lantern dim, starved of oxygen, oh
F#m A B
so give me your hand and lets jump out the window
[Outro]
E
(until end)
