[Verse 1]
C
I turn awake, I'm just sleep rising,
  Am
I put on my clothes, sleep gliding,
G                             Am
Onto the bus, sleep riding to work again, to work again,
  C
I swipe-in the door, sleep lifting,
Am
Up to my floor, sleep drifting,
  G                                       Am
A number twenty-four, white coffee with a sweetener, a sweetener

[Chorus]
C                   G      Em                             Am
    This artificial ...me,    I'd like to show you what I really could be,
C                              G
    I'd like to run across the office tables,
Am                     G               Am              G
     Singing, "No, you won't have me!      No, no, you won't have me!
Am               G                Am               G
     No, no, you won't have me!        No, no, you won't have me,
         Am                         G               C
And I'll  ...keep a -running 'til I reach the sea------!"

[Verse 2]
  C
I switch on my machine, sleep typing,
  Am
I answer the phone, sleep hyping,
   G                                     Am
Am I alone? I don't really know what I'm selling, I'm selling!
        C
And the boss wants a word, I've been daydreaming,
    Am
The boss wants a word, clockwatching,
  G                                           Am
I wish I was a bird, I'd fly right out of the window, the window!

[Chorus]
C                   G      Em                             Am
    This artificial ...me,    I'd like to show you what I really could be,
C                              G
    I'd like to run across the office tables,
Am                    G              Am              G
    Singing, "No, you won't have me!     No, no, you won't have me!
Am              G               Am               G
    No, no, you won't have me!       No, no, you won't have me,
         Am                          G              C
And I'll  ...keep a - running 'til I reach the sea------!"

    C
But I turn awake, I'm just sleep rising,
  Am
I put on my clothes, sleep gliding,
G                             Am
Onto the bus, sleep riding to work again,

[Chorus]
C                   G      Em                              Am
    This artificial ...me,    one day I'll show you what I really can be,
C                           G
    And I'll run across the office tables,
Am                    G               Am              G
    Singing, "No, you didn't have me!     No, no, you won't have me!
Am              G              Am                        G
    No, no, you won't have me,     and not your company  ...policy,
Am                       G
    A little more hu---  ...manity, please,
Am                       G
    And not the company  ...policy,
Am                       G
    A little more hu---  ...manity!

And I'll   ...keep a - running 'til I reach the sea,
