Helpless Automaton chords by Men At Work
Guitar chords with lyrics
Intro: (E D G A) x2 /G
E D G A
I stay in my room, all alone in the gloom
E D G A
What need I of light? Machines they can see in the night
E D G A E
And I feel no pain, metal heart and a metal brain
D G A G A D E G A D E
But something is wrong, 'cause I still feel that signal coming in so
E D G A E
I stand at your door, I guess I'll wait a moment more
D G A
Your hall light comes on, and-now-my-turn to fire upon
E D G A
But I wheel away, defer-my-plight, for another day
E D G A
To dream of your face, but a video screen takes its place
🎸
