Intro: E
[E](Born to) Born to mult[C#m]iply, born to gaze into [F#m]night skies,
All you w[A]ant's one more[F#m] Saturday[E].
But look here, until t[C#m]hen
They're gonna buy your [F#m]nice time
So keep your [A]wick in the air and your [F#m]feet in the fetters
[B]To the day.
You come in doing [E]cartwheels
We all crawl out by [B]ourselves
And your shape on the [E]dance floor
Will have me thinking such [B]filth and gouge my eyes.
You'd be da[C#m]mned to be o[A]ne of us girl
[C#m]Faced with a [A]dodo's conundrum
[E]I [F#m] felt like I could just fly[A]
But n[G#m]othing happened every time I [B]tried.
Wooh Oooo[E]h
A dual tone on the[C#m] wall
The selfless fool who hoped he?d [F#m]save us all
Never dr[A]eamt of such st[F#m]erile hands[E]
You keep them folded in your [C#m]lap
And raise them up to[F#m] beg for scraps
You know he's [A]holding you down with the [F#m]tips of his fingers
[B]Just the same
Will you be pulled from [E]the ocean
But just a minute [B]too late
Or changed by a [E]potion
And find a handsome young[B] mate for you to love
You'll be [C#m]damned to pining through the [A]window panes, you know
[C#m]You'll change your life for any [A]ordinary [E]Joe[F#m]
Well do it now or grow ol[A]d
Your nightmares [G#m]only need a year or two to un[B]fold

[B]Been alone since you were twenty-one,
[E]You haven't laughed since January,
[B]You try and think of this as so much fun,
[E]But we know it to be quite contrary.
[B]lalalala, la la la la
[C#m]Dare to be [A]one of us, girl,
[C#m]Facing the [A]Android's conundrum,
[E]I [F#m] feel like I should just c[A]ry,
But n[G#m]othing happens every time I t[B]ake one on the chin,
You'r[G#m]e humor in your coat, you don't know [B]how long I've been,
Watch[G#m]ing the lantern dim,[B]
[G#m]Starved of oxygen[B],
So [A]give me your hand, and let's [F#m]jump out the window.[E]
