Helpless Automaton by Men at Work
Helpless Automaton
Intro: ( E D G A ) x2 /G
E D G A
I stay in my room, all alone in the gloom
E D G A
What need I of light? Machines they can see in the night
E D G A E
And I feel no pain, metal heart and a metal brain
D G A G A D E G A D E
But something is wrong, ''cause I still feel that signal coming in so
E D G A E
I stand at your door, I guess I''ll wait a moment more
D G A
Your hall light comes on, and-now-my-turn to fire upon
E D G A
But I wheel away, defer-my-plight, for another day
E D G A
To dream of your face, but a video screen takes its place
Em G D B Em
Hey, oh it''s true, I''m a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
G D B E/F# E D/E D
It''s true, machin''ry in my pocket, I''ve even got a docket from you
Solo: E/F# E D/E D G A D E G A D E
E D G A E
I went to the man, I told him a robot is what I am,
D G A
But he just smiled, said I was a fractious child
E D G A
"Distrusted not Rusted" that''s why I feel so disgusted
E D G A
But I know he''s wrong, ''cause I haven''t felt this way for very long
Em G D B Em
Hey, oh it''s true, I''m a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
G D B Em
It''s true, machin''ry in my pocket, I''ve even got a docket from you
G D B Em
It''s true, I''m a helpless automaton, make an ultimatum to you
G D B E/F# E
It''s true, machin''ry in my pocket, I''ve even got a docket from you
D/E D E/F# E D/E D ( E/F# E D/E D ) x4
From you, from you, from you
Solo: ( Em G D B ) x4 ( G A D E ) x2
