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


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


[Bridge]

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


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

But I turn awake, I'm just sleep rising,

C                             G
    And I'll run across the office tables,
Am                      G             Am               G
    Singing, "No, you didn't have me!     No, no, you won't have me!
Am               G              Am                        G
    No, no, you won't have me,      and not your company  ...policy,
