[VERSE 1]
Am G F E7 Come with me I'll Show you how to be a metal man, Am G F E7 When the gears are turning and The fires Burn-in Am G F E7 When the world tick around you, voices talking all the time Am G F E7 When you live for sleep and you've never slept, because you cannot sleep Am G F E7 Colonel Walter was shocked when he heard from the Nile Am G F E7 Copper African Elephants turning hostile Am G F E7 So he built these wonderful automaton blokes Am G F E7 and a very big steam powered giraffe what smokes
[PRECHOURUS 1]
Dm C Now the war is past and over, we're left to sit and wonder Dm Dm Dm what is life? and what is real? and why do living things need feel- E7 E7 E7 ing, ings, INGS! (1,2, 3)

[VERSE 2]
Am G F E7 How'd you like to try pumping lead through your veins Am G F E7 Or have a heart so wet and cold it start rust-ing Am G F E7 When the world tick around you, voices talking all the time Am G F E7 When you live for feelings you've never felt, because you cannot feel Am G F E7 And what is this leaking affecting my eyes? Am G F E7 Does the oil that is dripping mean this is a cry? Am G F E7 Will I ever be something with feelings to hide? Am G F E7 Or am I just a boiler with nothing inside?
[PRECHOURUS 2]
Dm C I want it all today, Don't want to hear you say Dm Dm Dm you can't do this, you can't do that, you're not a living thing with feel- E7 E7 E7 ing, ings, INGS! (1,2, 3)

** Originally meant to be the two vocal parts together a capella. But I find the chords and part one go
quite nicely together if you strum once, but all in all, it's improv.
