They Might Be Giants – Nanobots (Guitar Intro)

E5
Grow the nanobots

E            A
Grow the nanobots up

E                A
Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk

E            A
Wind the nanobots up

E                A
Wind them up and ask them a question

E                A
Raise the yellow bots up

E                 A
Raise them up and make them respect us

E                 A
Wind the marching bots up

E                B
Wind them up and wish them away

E                 A
What with all the hullabaloo

E                 A
We very nearly forgot about you

E                             A
Now all the old troubles will soon be at an end

E                           A                    B       A
And all the new ones will begin when we send the signal

       E              B
To the newborn citizenship

            E       A
Of the micronations

        E                 B
Sleeper cells awaken, now this is your time

E               A                   E         A
Hear the voices calling to their confederates

E            A                        E
See the tiny figures stretching their limbs

A
Stand back and watch them

E            A
Grow the nanobots up

E                A
Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk

E            A
Wind the nanobots up

E                B
Wind them up and wish them away

E                        A
The sun is rising in the wrong place

        E                             A
I would decorate the room but there's no more space

E                        A
All I see is pictures of matchstick men

  E                    A                          E     A
I turn my back for two minutes and they've grown again

            E    A
Rearranging beds

               E        A
Eating what's available

                E     A
In some hand-me-downs

               E
Making do with leftovers

            A
Bunking up, sharing comic books

E                  A                    B
Sitting three-deep on each other's laps

                 E                C#m
In a van stacked up on other vans

             A     B
Driving on a tidal wave where they

E            A
Grow the nanobots up

E                A
Grow them in the cracks in the sidewalk

E            A
Wind the nanobots up

E                B
Wind them up and wish them away

E                A
Raise the yellow bots up

E                 A
Raise them up and make them respect us

E                 A
Wind the marching bots up

E                A                  B      A
Wind them up and get them to send a signal

       E              B
To the newborn citizenship

            E       A
Of the micronations

        E
Sleeper cells awaken now

B                          E
This is your, this is your time
