Am C
G Em
Am C
G C
F C
[Verse 1]
G
All that he does is chip away
C
Each day he sticks to his routine:
F C
Putting the pieces on building a big machine
Em
He ran out of room inside his room
Am
And so he moved it all outside
F C
Now it's a bit too big, now it's a mile wide
[Verse 2]
G
The family vans across the desert
C
Follow signs to park and stare
F C
Nobody says hello, nobody knows he's there
Em
They just look at the blinking lights and greebles
Am
Interlocking arms of steel
F C
And they think: Nothing could be so big, nothing could be so real, they think
[Pre-chorus]
F Dm
One million springs
G C F C G
And spinning things, it's quite a view
F Dm C G
We have no clue...
Dm C G F
What does it do?
[Chorus]
Dm Am Am/G#
That's the beauty of it--
G F Em Am C G
It doesn't do anything (doesn't do anything
[Interlude]
Em
Am C
[Verse 3]
G
He made his own night-vision goggles
C
Now he lurks inside the frame
F C
Perfecting it from within, forgetting his own name
Em
All that he knows is that it needs him
Am
All it knows is he needs it
F C
Every piston, every single little bit
[Verse 4]
G
The government people in black helicopters
C
Try to snoop around
F C
I'm so sorry, but he needs the extra parts, he takes the choppers down
G
Now there are tanks on the horizon
C
Asking what are his demands?
F C
Not one of them understands, nobody understands (All the megaphones scream)
[Pre-chorus]
F Dm
One million gears
G C F C G
Perhaps our fears are coming true
F Dm C G
What does it do?
Dm C G F
What does it do?
[Chorus]
Dm Am Am/G#
That's the beauty of it--
G F Em Am C
It doesn't do anything (doesn't do anything)
[Bridge]
F Dm Am C
Lost in solipsism he then slowly pulls a lever
G Em Am C
Which sets off a mechanism which does nothing whatsoever
F Dm Am C
But the nothing that it does negates the everything we know
G Em Am C
Because it's screaming "Just because!" Because it's neither friend or foe
F Dm Am C
And so we label it a menace or a grandiose work of art
G Em Am C
From its finale to its genesis we slowly pull it all apart
[Outro]
Dm Am Am/G#
That's the beauty of it--
G F Em Am C G
It doesn't do anything, do anything
F G
Doesn't do anything, doesn't do anything!
