Ultravox: "I Want to Be A Machine"
(Am/F = x02211)
Am/FI found the bones of all your ghosts
EmLocked in the wishing well
Fmaj7While birdsong gourmets dragged empty nets
GI slumbered in my shell
Am/FIn mitternacht, die mensch-maschine
EmKissed me on my eyes
Fmaj7I rose and left the fire-ladies
GGlowing lonely in the night
Fmaj7With all the pornographers
EmBurnAing torches beneath the sea
Chorus:
EmI wanFt toG be a machine
EmI wanFt toG be a machine
EmI wanFt toG be a machine
EmI want to be a machine
Am/FI stole a cathode face from newscasts
EmAnd a crumbling fugue of songs
Fmaj7From the reservoir of video souls
GIn the lakes beneath my tongue
Am/FIn flesh of ash and silent movies
EmI walked at boulevards again
Fmaj7A nebula of unfinished creatures
GFrom the lifetimes of my friends
Fmaj7I hope yEmour Ainnocence has depraved me
(Chorus)
Em F G ...
Am/FBroadcast me, scrambled clean
EmOr free me from this flesh
Fmaj7Let the armchair cannibals take their fill
GIn every cell across wilderness
Am/FWe'll trip such a strangled tango
EmWe'll waltz a wonderland affair
Fmaj7Let's run to meet the tide tomorrow
GLeave all emotion dying there
Fmaj7In the sEmtar Acold beyond all of your dreams
(Chorus)
Em F G ...
Ah!
