[Verse]
E C#m Born to multiply or born to gaze
F#m into night skies,
F#m G#m A G#m F#m all you want's one more Saturday.
E C#m But look here, until then
F#m They're gonna buy your life's time
F#m G#m A So keep your wick in the air
G#m F#m and your feet in the fetters [Chorus]
B Til the day, we come in doing
E cartwheels
B We all crawl out by ourselves, and
E your shape on the dance floor
B Will have me thinking such filth I'll gouge my eyes.
C#m A You'll be damned to be one of us girl
C#m A Faced with the dodo's conundrum
E F#m A I felt like I could just fly
Continues after the ad
G#m But nothing happened every time I
B A G#m F#m tried. [Verse]
E C#m Duotone on the wall, the selfless
F#m fool who hoped he'd saved us all
F#m G#m A G#m never dreamt of such sterile
F#m hands
E C#m You keep them folded in your lap,
F#m or raise them up to beg for scraps
F#m G#m A You know he's holding you down
G#m F#m B with the tips of his fingers, just the same [Chorus]
E Will you be pulled from the ocean?
B But just a minute too late?
E Or changed by a potion, and find a
B handsome young mate for you to love
C#m you'll be damned to pining through
A the window panes, you know
C#m you'll trade your life for any
A E F#m ordinary joe's, well do it now
A or grow old
G#m Cos your nightmares only need a
B A G#m F#m year or two to unfold [Solo] E C#m F#m G#m A G#m F#m x2 [Bridge]
B E Been alone since you were 21, you haven't laughed since January
B You try and make like this is so
E much fun, but we know it to be be quite contrary
B La la la la la la [Chorus]
C#m A Dare to be one of us, girl,
C#m A facing the android's conundrum
E F#m A I felt like I should just cry
G#m But nothing happens every time I
A take one on the chin
G#m Yeah Himmler in your coat you don't
A know how long I've been
G#m A G#m Watching the lantern dim,
A starved of oxygen, oh
F#m A so give me your hand and lets jump
B out the window [Other]
E (until end)
