 E             G#m  B
I am an unhappy man
B     G#m                                  B
I was built with no purpose beyond just to satisfy
E            G#m
The tireless thoughts of these curious minds
F#
But what went wrong
E                     D#m  G#m
They sought to tear me apart
G#m           B                    E      D#m    G#m              B             E
They tried to stop this mechanical heart of mine I was never enough to ever be loved in his eyes

Have you forgotten me

Accept a broken son

E

Hope rides alone

Verse 2:

E
There's now another one like me
B             G#m
Cradled in my father's arms
         F#                       E
Like the golden boy he's built to be
E         B
Someday, somehow, someway
G#m                     B
I will make them pay for all of his mistakes

What is life
                         G#m
What right has he have to decide
                  B
Am I so much of a failure in his mind
                        E
I am more than he could ever be
G#m                B
I proudly wear his disgrace

G#m                F#
Have you forgotten me
        E
Did you erase what you've done
G#m
How could anyone
 F#               E
Accept a broken son

Accept a broken son

B                  G#m       B
Let the mad doctor rebuild me
                 G#m
There's no going back
B
Let him arm me to the teeth
F#
I bring hell with me
E
On broken wings
D#m       F#       E
On broken wings
                       G#m
Is there no joy to be found in this life
            F#               E
I no longer can call it mine
                       G#m
Is there no joy to be found in this life

It's no longer mine
