Born to…
C#m C#sus2 F#m F#m G#m
Born to multiply or born to gaze into night skies,
A G#m F#m E
When all you want’s one more Saturday.
C#m C#sus2
But look here, until then
F#m F#m G#m
They’re gonna buy your life’s time
A G#m F#m
So keep your wick in the air and your feet in the fetters
B
To the day.
E
We come in doing cartwheels
B
We all crawl out by ourselves
E
And your shape on the dance floor
B
Will have me thinking such filth and gauge my eyes.
C#m A C#m
You’d be damned to be one of us girl
A
Faced with a dodo’s conundrum
E F#m A
Ah, I felt like I could just fly
G#m B A G#m F#m E
But nothing happened every time I tried.
C#m C#sus2
A dual tone under wall
F#m F#m G#m
The selfless fool who hoped he’d save us all
A G#m F#m E
He never dreamt of such sterile hands,
C#m C#sus2
You keep them folded in your lap,
F#m F#m G#m
Or raise them up to beg for scraps,
A
You know, he’s holding you down,
G#m F#m B
With the tips of his fingers just the same,
E
Will you be pulled from the ocean,
B
But just a minute too late,
E
Or changed by a potion,
B
And find a handsome young mate,
B
For you to love.
C#m A
You’ll be damned to pining through the windowpanes,
C#m A E F#m
You know you’d trade your life for any ordinary Joe’s,
A
Well do it now or grow old,
G#m B A G#m F#m E
Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold.
E C#m C#sus2 F#m G#m A G#m F#m
E C#m C#sus2 F#m G#m A G#m F#m
B
Been alone since you were twenty-one,
E
You haven’t laughed since January,
B
You try and make like this is so much fun,
E
But we know it to be quite contrary.
B
C#m A
Dare to be one of us, girl,
C#m A
Facing the android’s conundrum,
E F#m A
Ah, I feel like I should just cry,
G#m A
But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin,
G#m
Yeah, Himmler in your coat,
A
You don’t know how long I’ve been,
G#m A
Watching the lantern dim,
G#m A
Starved of oxygen,
F#m
So give me your hand,
A B E
And let’s jump out the window.
