Intro: E
[E](Born to) Born to mult[C#m]iply, born to gaze into [F#m]night skies,
All you w[A]ant's one more[F#m] Saturday[E].
But look here, until t[C#m]hen
They're gonna buy your [F#m]nice time
So keep your [A]wick in the air and your [F#m]feet in the fetters
[B]To the day.
You come in doing [E]cartwheels
We all crawl out by [B]ourselves
And your shape on the [E]dance floor
Will have me thinking such [B]filth and gouge my eyes.
You'd be da[C#m]mned to be o[A]ne of us girl
[C#m]Faced with a [A]dodo's conundrum
[E]Ah, I [F#m]felt like I could just[A] fly
But n[G#m]othing happened every time I [B]tried.
Wooh Oooo[E]h
A dual tone on the[C#m] wall
The selfless fool who hoped he’d [F#m]save us all
Never dr[A]eamt of such st[F#m]erile hands[E]
You keep them folded in your [C#m]lap
And raise them up to[F#m] beg for scraps
You know he's [A]holding you down with the [F#m]tips of his fingers
[B]Just the same
Will you be pulled from [E]the ocean
But just a minute [B]too late
Or changed by a [E]potion
And find a handsome young[B] mate for you to love
You'll be [C#m]damned to pining through the [A]window panes, you know
[C#m]You'll change your life for any [A]ordinary [E]Joe[F#m]
Well do it now or grow ol[A]d
Your nightmares [G#m]only need a year or two to un[B]fold

Been alone since you were twenty-one
You haven't laughed since January
You try and make like this is so much fun
But we know it to be quite contrary
La la la la la la la
Dare to be one of us girl
Faced with the android's conundrum
Ah, I felt like I should just cry
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin
You’re Himmler in your coat you don't know how long I have been
Watching the lantern dim starved of oxygen
So give me your hand and let's jump out the window.
