VERSE 
Am                         G/B  
Every day my metal friend 
C                      G/B G 
Shakes my bed at 6am 
Am                             G/B  
Then the shiny serving clones 
C                       
Run in with my telephones

VERSE (part) 
Am                           G/B  
Talking fast I make a deal 
C                                  G/B G 
Buy the fake and sell what?s real 
Am                                 Am/G  
What?s this pain here in my chest

A               G/A             F#m/A         G/A       A 
  They send the heart police to put you under cardiac arrest 
A             G/A                  F#m/A              G/A                   Dsus2

VERSE 
Am                         G/B  
Living in the plastic age 
C                         G/B G 
Looking only half my age 
Am                         G/B  
Hello doctor lift my face 
  C  
I wish my skin could stand the pace

VERSE (part) 
Am                        G/B  
In my bed I read my mind 
  C                                G/B G 
Remember how the mice were blind 
  Am                                   Am/G  
I watch them fighting in their cage
