Tabbed by: bmtran

Notes: I transcribed this from the 
live matthew caws video here:
correct (not that everyone doesn't 
say that about their tabs). I found 
that I
couldn't find a tab or chords 
myself, so I thought I'd take a 
crack at writing
one. This is my first set of 
tabs/chords. Hope you enjoy!

Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)

[Verse]
You're just walking round your 
little mazes figuring out how to get
 by,
How to get laid and get famous, get 
yourself paid, impress the guys.
You're taught to divide the world 
into buddies and wives, sluts and 
wimps;
And ever since, you've kept a 
scorecard - how else to prove you're
 such the pimp.

Eb             Eb/D      Cm     
You are just a robot, executing 
     Ab
a program.

[Verse]
You get on the train where the crowd
 is tightening to push yourself up 
against a girl,
And when you're not getting play, 
you keep trying, you don't 
understand the consensual way.

Eb             Eb/D         Cm  
You are just a robot, an 
        Ab
imitation of a man.

[Verse]
She told me one night when we were 
lying quiet and cold, something not 
right.
It had been months since the good 
times, once there was sun, now there
 was night.

         Bb     Ab        Cm     
And she said to me as she turned 
       Eb
on the light,
         Bb                  Ab   
"There's something you don't know 
     Cm                    Eb
that keeps me from feeling right.
  Bb          Ab  Cm              
I once knew a guy... i'd seen him 
 Eb
around.
   Bb          Ab     Cm         
He knew all my friends... he came
      Eb
 from town.
Fm              Eb    Fm        
One night at a party... we both 
     Eb
were there,
Fm                      Eb        
He followed me into the 
Fm              Eb
bathroom... he grabbed my hair,"
              Gm                   
And she said "i still remember just
                               Ab
 how the floor felt and how my head 
would hit the tub."

    Eb            Eb/D          
Now where is that robot, is he 
Cm            Ab
alive or is he done?
     Eb                  Eb/D     
Does he breathe air that I 
             Cm               Ab
breathe? Is he kept warm by the same
 sun?
