Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F][C]

[Verse 1]
Where did we [Csus4]go?[C]
When was the moment that [F]we [C]broke in two?
I think I [Csus4]know[C]
In fact I am sure I can blame
[F]it [C]on [G]you

[Verse 2]
I remember [F]the first big sur[C]prise
The [G]day you came home
with your [F]infrared [C]eyes
[Am]I looked inside [C]them,
but [Dm]all I could see
Were [F]tiny reflections [G]of me

[Verse 3]
But it's not me it's [F]you,
what you're turning in[C]to
Is some kind of [Dm]something
that I never [C]knew
You used to be [F]OK and I
liked you [C]that way
[Am]But I don't think that I like you [D]better
No I [F]don't think [G]that I like
you [C]better[Csus4][C]

[Verse 4]
[C]You started out small
Some gills and some wings and a
few extra thumbs
Now you're thirteen feet tall
Even when you're asleep [Csus4]your
[C]machinery [G]hums

[Verse 5]
And I'm tired of the [F]evenings [C]I spend
[G]Making small talk with
[F]your new robot [C]friends
And their stu[Am]pid i[C]nsistence
on [Dm]scanning my iris
When [F]they know damn
well who [G]I am

[Verse 6]
And you look like the [F]victim
of a surgical [C]crime
A little Darth [Dm]Vader, a little Optimus [C]Prime
You used to be [F]OK and I
liked [C]you that way
[D]But I [Am]don't think that I like you [D]better
No I [F]don't think that [G]I like you b[Ab]etter

[Interlude 1]
[Eb][Fm][Bb]
[Eb][Ab][Db][G][C]

[Verse 7]
So that's how it [C]goes
Snap your mandibles once
to say you understand
Now hold me [Csus4]close[C]
Wait, now that's too close,
you're crushing my [G]hand

[Verse 8]
I can tell by that [F]shrieking [C]alarm
That [G]your weapons systems
are [F]active and [C]armed
[Am]Do me a favo[C]r and po[Dm]wer them down
[F]Just so we don't have [G]a scene

[Verse 9]
And I wish it were [F]different,
but we're just not the [C]same
At least we got [Dm]someone we
know we can [C]blame
You used to be [F]OK and I
liked [C]you that way
[Am]But I don't think that I like you [D]better
No I [F]don't think [G]that I like you [C]better

[Outro 1]
[C]
