Coin Operated Boy

G                                 D
Coin-operated boy, sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
               Am                 C
But I turn him on and he comes to life
          D                         G             G F# G G#
Automatic joy, that is why I want a coin-operated boy


[Verse 2]

Am              C            G            D
Made of plastic and elastic, he is rugged and long-lasting
Am             C            G   D
Who could ever ever ask for more
Am              C            G   D
Love without complications galore
Am              C                       G            D
Many shapes and weights to choose from, I will never leave my bedroom
Am           C             G   D
I will never cry at night again
Am            C                G   F D
Wrap my arms around him and pretend


[Verse 3]

G                                D
Coin-operated boy, all the other real ones that I destroy
              Am
Cannot hold a candle to my new boy and I'll
              D
Never let him go and I'll never be alone
D
And I'll never let him go
D
And I'll never be alone, go [x4]
                                     G
And I'll never be alone, not with my coin-operated boy


[Bridge]

C               D          Bm            C
This bridge was written to make you feel smitten-er
C           D          Bm           C
With my sad picture of girl getting bitter-er
C         D             Bm         C
Can you extract me from my plastic fantasy
C        D            Bm           C
I didn't think so but I'm still convincible
C           D         Bm      C
Will you persist even after I bet you
  C       D            Bm         C
A billion dollars that I'll never love you
    C           D         Bm      C
And will you persist even after I kiss you
    C           D              Bm          A
Goodbye for the last time will you keep on trying
   C             A         C            A
To prove it, I'm dying, to lose it, I'm losing
C              A          C          A          C
My confidence, I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it
A           C           A           C
I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
A           C           A           C
I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
A7         C         A7
I  want a, I want a, I want a
C         G
I  want a coin-operated boy

[Verse 4]

    Am         C               G             D
And if I had a star to wish on for my life I can't imagine
Em                               C
Any flesh and blood could be his match
Em                         C     F D
I can even take him in the bath
G                                D
Coin-operated boy, he may not be real experienced with girls
              Am                      C
But I know he feels like a boy should feel
               D
Isn't that the point, that is why I want a
G                                  D
Coin-operated boy, with his pretty coin-operated voice
               Am                           C
Saying that he loves me, that he's thinking of me
                    D
Straight and to the point, that is why I want a
G                D G
Coin-operated boy
