Intro: C Csus4 C Csus4  

Verso 1: 
C             Csus4 
  
Where did we go? 
C             Csus4                   C 
  
When was the moment that we broke in two? 
          Csus4 

I think I know 
C             Csus4                  G 
 In fact I am sure I can blame it on you 
               F/C       C 
I remember the first big surprise 
    G                           F/C      C 
The day you came home with your infrared eyes 
Am       G/B C            Dm7 
I looked inside them, but all I could see 
     F/C                 G C/G G7 
Were tiny reflections of me 

                     F/C                        C 
But it’s not me it’s you, what you’re turning into 
                Dm7                    C 
Is some kind of something that I never knew 
               F/C                C 
You used to be OK and I liked you that way 
      Am               Am7/G      D7/F# 
But I don’t think that I like you better 
     F/C              G          C      Csus4 
No I don’t think that I like you better 

Verso 2: 
C                Csus4 
 You started out small 
C                    Csus4                 C 
 Some gills and some wings and a few extra thumbs 
C                         Csus4 
 Now you’re thirteen feet tall 
C                  Csus4                G 
 Even when you’re asleep your machinery hums 
                     F/C        C 
And I’m tired of the evenings I spend 
G                           F/C       C 
Making small talk with your new robot friends 
          Am     G/B C         Dm7 
And their stupid insistence on scanning my iris 
     F/C                       G C/G G7 
When they know damn well who I am 


                      F/C                  C 
And you look like the victim of a surgical crime 
               Dm7                     C 
A little Darth Vader, a little Optimus Prime 
               F/C                  C 
You used to be OK and I liked you that way 
      Am               Am7/G      D7/F# 
But I don’t think that I like you better 
     F/C              G          Ab 
No I don’t think that I like you better 

Solo: 
Ab4 Ab Eb Fm Bb Eb Ab Db G C  

Verso 3: 
C                 Csus4 
 So that’s how it goes 
C                    Csus4           C 
 Snap your mandibles once to say you understand 
             Csus4 
 Now hold me close 
C                 Csus4                         G 
 Wait, now that’s too close, you’re crushing my hand 
                   F/C       C 
I can tell by that shrieking alarm 
     G                        F/C        C 
That your weapons systems are active and armed 
Am  G/B C         Dm7 
Do me a favor and power them down 
F/C                     G    C/G G7 
Just so we don’t have a scene 

                  F/C                               C 
And I wish it was different, but we’re just not the same 
                Dm7                    C 
At least we got someone we know we can blame 
               F/C                C 
You used to be OK and I liked you that way 
      Am               Am7/G      D7/F# 
But I don’t think that I like you better 
     F/C              G          C           
No I don’t think that I like you better
