Coin-Operated Boy The Dresden Dolls
[G]Coin-operated boy, sitting on the [D]shelf he is just a toy
But I turn him [Am]on and he comes to life
D G G/F# G (ch)G/G#(/ch)
Automatic joy, that is why I want a coin-operated boy
[Am]Made of plastic and elastic, [C]he is rugged and long-lasting
[Em]Who could ever ever ask for [G]more[C]
[Em]Love without complications ga[G]lore[C] [C/G] [C/F#] [C/G]
[Am]Many shapes and weights to choose from, [C]I will never leave my bedroom
[Em]I will never cry at night a[G]gain[C]
[Em]Wrap my arms around him and pre[G]tend[F] [D]
[G]Coin-operated boy, all the other [D]real ones that I destroy
Cannot hold a [Am]candle to my new boy and I'll
Never let him [D]go and I'll never be alone
And I'll never let him go and I'll never be alone, go
And I'll never be alone, go
And I'll never be alone, go
And I'll never be alone, go
And I'll never be alone, not with my [G]coin-operated boy
[C]This verse was [D]written to [Bm]make you feel [C]smitten-er
[C]With my sad [D]picture of [Bm]girl getting [C]bitter-er
[C]Can you ex[D]tract me from [Bm]my plastic [C]fantasy
[C]I didn't [D]think so but [Bm]I'm still con[C]vincible
[C]Will you per[D]sist even [Bm]after I [C]bet you
A [C]billion [D]dollars that [Bm]I'll never [C]love you
And [C]will you per[D]sist even [Bm]after I [C]kiss you
Good[C]bye for the [D]last time will [Bm]you keep on [A]trying
To [C]prove it, I'm [A]dying, to [C]lose it, I'm [A]losing
[C]My confidence, [A]I want it, [C]I want it, [A]I want it, [C]I want it
[A]I want you, [C]I want you, [A]I want you, [C]I want you
[A]I want you, [C]I want you, [A]I want you, [C]I want you
[A]I want a
[C]I want a
[A]I want a
[C]I want a [G]coin-operated boy
[Am] [C] [Em] [G] [C]
[Am] [C] [Edim] [C]
[Am]And if I had a star to wish on [C]for my life I can't imagine
[Em]Any flesh and blood could be his [G]match[C]
[Em]I can even take him in the [G]bath[F] [D]
[G]Coin-operated boy, he may not be [D]real experienced with girls
But I know he [Am]feels like a boy should feel
Isn't that the [D]point, that is why I want a
[G]Coin-operated boy, with his pretty [D]coin-operated voice
Saying that he [Am]loves me, that he's thinking of me
Straight and to the [D]point, that is why I want a
[G]Coin-operated boy
