Tom: Am
Am G F E
Come with me I'll Show you how to be a metal man,
Am G F E
When the gears are turning and the fires burnin'
Am G F E
When the world tick around you, voices tocking all the time
Am G F E
When you live for sleep and you've never slept, because you cannot sleep
Am G F E
Colonel Walter was shocked when he heard from the Nile
Am G F E
Copper African Elephants turning hostile
Am G F E
So he built these wonderful automaton blokes
Am G F E
and a very big steam powered giraffe what smokes
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm C
Now the war is past and over, we're left to sit and wonder
Dm Dm Dm
what is life? and what is real? and why do living things need feel-
E E E
ing, ings, INGS! (here we gooo! ah 1,2,3)
[Chorus]
Am G F E
La da da da da, La da da da da
Dm C F E
La da da da da, La da da da da da
Am G F E
La da da da da, La da da da da
Dm C F E
La da da da da, La da da da da da
[Verse 2]
Am G F E
How'd you like to try pumping lead through your veins
Am G F E
or have a heart so wet and cold it starts rusting
Am G F E
When the world tick around you, voices tocking all the time
Am G F E
You live for feelings you've never felt because you cannot feel
[Bridge]
Am G C E
And what is this leaking affecting my eye?
Am G C E
Does the oil that is dripping mean this is a cry?
Am G Dm E
Will I ever be something with feelings to hide?
Am G C E
Or am I just a boiler with nothing inside?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Dm C
I want all today, don't want to hear you say
Dm Dm Dm
You can't do this, you can't do that, you're not a living thing with feel-
E E E
ing, ings, INGS! (ah 1,2,3)
[Outro]
[Main]
E Am G E
Wind me up, turn the gears (Brass goggles!)
E Am G E
Wind me up, turn the gears (Brass goggles!)
E Dm G E
Wind me up, turn the gears (Brass goggles, goggles, goggles!)
E Am G E
Wind me up, turn the gears (Brass goggles!)
[Harmony 2; sung in harmony w/ the Main]
Dm C
I want all today, don't want to hear you say
Dm Dm E
I love you, I love you, I love-love-love you
[Harmony 3; sung in harmony w/ the Main]
Am G F E
Colonel Walter was shocked when he heard from the Nile
Am G F E
Copper African Elephants turning hostile
Am G F E
So he built these wonderful automaton blokes
