Chords

I play it in G to lower the key to fit my voice register and have open chords I adapted this version for sing along guitar only accompaniment I added the lead melody lines for playing with a simple base or fellow guitarist or bassist.

  G              Em7             C                  G
I did my best to notice when the call came down the line.

          D              Em           C                  D
Up to the platform of surrender I was brought, but I was kind.

    G               Em7            C           Em
And sometimes I get nervous when I see an open door.

           C                       D
Close your eyes, clear your heart.
[Chorus]
        G            Em7    C           G
Cut the cord, are we human,...or are we dancer?

D          Em        C         D
My sign is vital, my hands are cold.

        G     Em7                   Em
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer.

       Am     C           G
Are we human,...or are we dancer?

My sign is vital, my hands are cold.

        G     Em7                   Em
And I'm on my knees looking for the answer.
