E
C
We're in the building where they make us grow
A
And I'm frightened by the liquid engineers
E
Like you
[Verse 2]
C
My Mallory heart is sure to fail
A
I could crawl around the floor just like I'm real
E
Like you
[Verse 3]
C
The sound of metal
A
I want to be... you
I could learn to be a man
E
Like you
[Bridge]
C
Plug me in
A
And turn me on
F
Oh, everything is moving
F

C
I need my treatment it's tomorrow they send me
A
Singing I am an American
E
Do you?
[Verse 5]
C
Picture this, if I could make the change
A
I'd love to pull the wires from the wall
E
Did you?
[Verse 6]
C
And who are you

And how can I... try?
Here inside I like metal
E
Arent't you?
[Outro]

All I know

I'm still confusing love with need
F
