[Verse 1]
C majorC
I turn awake, I'm just sleep rising,
 A minorAm
I put on my clothes, sleep gliding,
 G+G              A minorAm
Onto the bus, sleep riding to work again, to work again!
  C majorC
I swipe-in the door, sleep lifting,
A minorAm
Up to my floor, sleep drifting,
  G+G                    A minorAm
A augmentedA number twenty-four, white coffee with a sweetner, a sweetner!


[Chorus]
C majorC          G+G   E minorEm               A minorAm
  This artificial ...me,  I'd like to show you what I really could be,
C majorC                G+G
  I'd like to run across the office tables,
A minorAm           G+G        A minorAm        G+G
   Singing, "No, you won't have me!   No, no, you won't have me!
A minorAm        G+G        A minorAm         G+G
   No, no, you won't have me!    No, no, you won't have me!
     A minorAm              G+G       C majorC
And I'll ...keep a -running 'til I reach the sea------!"

[Verse 2]
  C majorC
I switch on my machine, sleep typing,
  A minorAm
I answer the phone, sleep hyping,
  G+G                    A minorAm
Am I alone? I don't really know what I'm selling, I'm selling!
     C majorC
And the boss wants a word, I've been daydreaming,
   A minorAm
The boss wants a word, clockwatching,
  G+G                     A minorAm
I wish I was a bird, I'd fly right out of the window, the window!

  No, no, you won't have me!    No, no, you won't have me!

And I'll ...keep a - running 'til I reach the sea------!"
