X2
7 7 7 1° 1°
The day they found me
6 6 1° 5 6 4 2 3
I hadn’t yet been played
7 7 1° 1° 1°
Inside my workshop
6 6 1° 5 6 4 2 3
Behind the old arcade
4° 4° 4° 4° 3°
Electric desires
2° 3° 4° 1° 6 5 2°
Had unraveled all my wires
1 1 1 3 4 5
Now I’m in a box
4 5 6 2
For safekeeping
5 4 2 3 4
7 7 7 1° 1°
The news reporters
6 6 1° 5 6 4 2 3
Reported that I died
7 7 1° 1° 1°
But all my organs
6 6 1° 5 6 4 2 3
Were living on inside
4° 4° 4° 4° 3°
Circuit board to brain
2° 3° 4° 1° 6 5 2°
With two lungs collecting change
1 1 1 3 4 5
One big human heart
4 5 6 2
Gently beeping
5 4 2 3 4
4 3 6 5
You can’t win me
3 2 5 4
I can’t be beat
2°° 7° 5° 2°
4 3 6 5
I won’t hurt you
3 2 5 4
Unless you cheat
3°° 2°° 7° 5°
4 3 6 5
You can’t see me
3 2 5 4
Behind the screen
2°° 7° 5° 2°
4 3 6 5
I’m half human
2° 1° 5° 4°
And half machine
3°° 2°° 7° 5°
