	        Intro: E 

 

E           C#m                     F#m 
Born to multiply, born to gaze into night skies 
         A             F#m      E 
All you want's one more Saturday 
                      C#m 
Well look here, until then 
                       F#m 
They're gonna buy your life's time 
             A                        F#m 
So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters 
B 
'Till the day 
                  E 
We come in doing cartwheels 
                        B 
We all crawl out by ourselves 
                      E 
And your shape on the dance floor 
                           B 
Will have me thinking such filth will gauge my eyes. 
           C#m         A 
You'd be damned to be one of us, girl 
C#m           A 
Faced with a dodo's conundrum 
E    F#m                        A 
Ah,  I felt like I could just fly 
     G#m                        B 
But nothing happend every time I tried 

Woo ooo, Woo ooo 

E                C#m                                   F#m 
A duotone on the wall, the selfless fool who hoped he'd save us all 
         A         F#m              E 
Never dreamt of such sterile hands 
                             C#m 
You keep 'em folded in your lap 
                     F#m 
And raise them up to beg for scraps 
               A                          F#m 
You know, he's holding you down, With the tips of his fingers 
B 
Just the same 
                          E 
You'll be pulled from the ocean 
                      B 
But just a minute too late 
                E 
Or changed by a potion 
                            B 
And find a handsome young mate for you to love 
          C#m                            A 
You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes 
        C#m                            A         E 
You know you'd trade your life for any ordinary Joe's 
   F#m                  A 
Well, do it now or grow old 
                G#m                           B 
Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold 

 

E                             B 
Been in love since you were twenty-one 
E                          B 
You haven't laughed since January 
E                                 B 
You try and make this up this is so much fun 
E                      B 
But we know it to be quite contrary 
E          B 
Lalalala, la la la la 
C#m        A 
Dare to be one of us, girl 
C#m        A 
Facing the android's conundrum 
E  F#m                     A 
I     feel like I should just cry 
     G#m                         B/A 
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin 
     G#m                                  B/A 
You're Himmler your coat, you don't know how long I've been 
     G#m             B/A 
Watching the lantern dim 
G#m              B/A 
Starved of oxygen 
   A                            F#m                 E 
So give me your hand and let's jump out the window
