Verse 1:
    Am 
I remember the first time I saw you, I couldn't believe my own eyes 
         G                        D/F#                     F 
You were cold to the touch, but I needed you so much in my life 
        Am 
Oh, you showed me a world full of wonder, your voice held all the answers I sought 
       G                     D/F#                   F 
When I lost my way you never lead me astray or so I thought

G                           Am 
But when I take a look around and everybody's looking down 
      F                          C 
And I think they're nothing like me 
           G                                 Am 
And when I tried to turn you off, you just remind me you're the boss 
      F           G              Am 
And I cave, I'm a slave to the machine 


Verse 2:
           Am 
You're the first thing I see every morning, your soft glow bids me goodnight 
    G                 D/F#                       F 
You sing to me and in darkness, you bring me the light 
        Am 
Oh, you send a little chill through my body, just to remind me you're there 
     G                            D/F#                     F 
If I left you behind I would move mountains to find you anywhere 



           G                           Am 
But when I take a look around and everybody's looking down 
      F                          C 
And I think they're nothing like me 
           G                                 Am 
And when I tried to turn you off, you just remind me you're the boss 
      F           G              Am 
And I cave, I'm a slave to the machine 


Bridge: 
F                    D      G                      Am 
Now we're living the dream, eyes never leaving the screen 
F                  D     G          Am 
Floating away in a stream, to the machine 


Instrumental 
Am G D/F# F (x2) 


 
           G                           Am 
But when I take a look around and everybody's looking down 
      F                     C 
And I think they're nothing like me 
           G                                 Am 
And when I tried to turn you off, you just remind me you're the boss 
      F           G              Am 
And I cave, I'm a slave to the machine 


Bridge: 
F                    D      G                      Am 
Now we're living the dream, eyes never leaving the screen 
F                  D     G          Am 
Floating away in a stream, to the machine 
F                    D      G                      Am 
Now we're living the dream, eyes never leaving the screen 
F                  D     G          Am 
Floating away in a stream, to the machine
