Guitar chords with lyrics

[VERSE 1]
A minorAm           G+G                    FF           E7E7
Come with me I'll Show you how to be a metal man,
          A minorAm                G+G             FF    E7E7
When the gears are turning and The fires Burn-in
           A minorAm           G+G                 FF             E7E7
When the world tick around you, voices talking all the time
           A minorAm                G+G                    FF                 E7E7
When you live for sleep and you've never slept, because you cannot sleep

           A minorAm         G+G              FF             E7E7
Colonel Walter was shocked when he heard from the Nile
           A minorAm     G+G         FF       E7E7
Copper African Elephants turning hostile
        A minorAm          G+G           FF       E7E7
So he built these wonderful automaton blokes
        A minorAm       G+G             FF             E7E7
and a very big steam powered giraffe what smokes

[PRECHOURUS 1]
DmDm                                   C majorC
Now the war is past and over, we're left to sit and wonder
DmDm                 DmDm                 DmDm
what is life? and what is real? and why do living things need feel-
E7E7   E7E7    E7E7
ing, ings, INGS! (1,2, 3)


[CHORUS]
         A minorAm  G+G            FF    E7E7
La da da da da, La da da da da
         DmDm  C majorC            FF    G+G
La da da da da, La da da da da da
         A minorAm  G+G           FF     E7E7
La da da da da, La da da da da
          DmDm      C majorC     FF       E7E7
La da da, da da, da da, da da daaa

[VERSE 2]
A minorAm                 G+G                   FF          E7E7
How'd you like to try pumping lead through your veins
          A minorAm                G+G             FF    E7E7
Or have a heart so wet and cold it start rust-ing
           A minorAm           G+G                 FF             E7E7
When the world tick around you, voices talking all the time
           A minorAm                G+G                    FF                E7E7
When you live for feelings you've never felt, because you cannot feel

    A minorAm            G+G         FF          E7E7
And what is this leaking affecting my eyes?
         A minorAm              G+G         FF          E7E7
Does the oil that is dripping mean this is a cry?
        A minorAm          G+G           FF          E7E7
Will I ever be something with feelings to hide?
        A minorAm       G+G           FF        E7E7
Or am I just a boiler with nothing inside?

[PRECHOURUS 2]
DmDm                          C majorC
I want it all today, Don't want to hear you say
    DmDm                 DmDm                    DmDm
you can't do this, you can't do that, you're not a living thing with feel-
E7E7    E7E7    E7E7
ing, ings, INGS! (1,2, 3)

[CHOURUS]
         A minorAm  G+G            FF    E7E7

** Originally meant to be the two vocal parts together a capella. But I find the chords and part one go
           quite nicely together if you strum once, but all in all, it's improv.
