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
