Steam Powered Giraffe – Automatonic Electronic Harmonics (Ukulele)

Bm
Ever since the first time I opened my eyes

D
I've awakened to the same thing

F#m                                        Bm
Other automaton friends roughly built like me

Bm
The first time I opened my mouth to speak

D
steam escaped to the air

F#m                                             Bm
and black oil dripped from my lips and onto the ground

     Bm
Well daylight struck a chord with my photo-receptors

D
Night greeted me with a sea of stars

    F#m                                           Bm
Our eyes all flashed blues and greens through the night

Bm                D
Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic

Bm
People are soaring, always exploring,

D
higher than they've ever been before

F#m
But we are still down here, feet on the ground near

A
what will rise us up with the rest

    Bm
Our thoughts are quixotic, stark and robotic,

  D
mechanical in nature all the time

    F#m
And pulses are firing in our head wiring,

A
guiding all our actions and beings

Bm                D
Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic

A               Bm
I am not an unimaginable thing

D                                      F#m
My thoughts are tangible though they're full of springs

  A                                Bm
I don't have the heart to send you untruthful words

D                                F#m
My skin is cold to the touch and made from the earth

Bm             D                  F#m
Oh, oh it's so down, but baby its sound

                     A
makes your worries cease to pound

    Bm                 D                   F#m
And oh, maybe it's alright, 'cause baby it fights

                      A
for some time just to be held tight

    Bm                   D                             F#m
And oh, maybe it's not wrong, 'cause it sings a lovely song

                A
one that drifts on for so long

    Bm                  D                  F#m
And oh, baby let's not lie, it's eyes are alive

                       A
and pointed up shining light to the sky

Bm                D
