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
🎸

 Em       G     D          B          Em
 Hey, oh it's true, I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
    G    D             B           E/F# E D/E D
 It's true, machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you

Solo: E/F# E D/E D G A D E G A D E

E        D G        A       E
 I went to the man, I told him a robot is what I am,
        D  G        A
 But he just smiled, said I was a fractious child
E         D    G        A
 "Distrusted not Rusted" that's why I feel so disgusted
E         D       G         A
 But I know he's wrong, 'cause I haven't felt this way for very long

 Em       G     D          B          Em
 Hey, oh it's true, I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
    G    D             B           Em
 It's true, machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
    G     D          B          Em
 It's true, I'm a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
    G    D             B           E/F# E
 It's true, machin'ry in my pocket, I've even got a docket from you
   D/E D   E/F# E   D/E D (E/F# E  D/E D) x4
 From you, from you,  from you

Solo: (Em G D B) x4 (G A D E) x2
