Ultravox: "I Want to Be A Machine"
(Am/C = x02211)
Em/CI found the bones of all your ghosts
BmLocked in the wishing well
Cmaj7While birdsong gourmets dragged empty nets
DI slumbered in my shell
Em/CIn mitternacht, die mensch-maschine
BmKissed me on my eyes
Cmaj7I rose and left the fire-ladies
DGlowing lonely in the night
Cmaj7With all the pornographers
BmBurnEing torches beneath the sea
Chorus:
BmI wanCt toD be a machine
BmI wanCt toD be a machine
BmI wanCt toD be a machine
BmI want to be a machine
Em/CI stole a cathode face from newscasts
BmAnd a crumbling fugue of songs
Cmaj7From the reservoir of video souls
DIn the lakes beneath my tongue
Em/CIn flesh of ash and silent movies
BmI walked at boulevards again
Cmaj7A nebula of unfinished creatures
DFrom the lifetimes of my friends
Cmaj7I hope yBmour Einnocence has depraved me
(Chorus)
Bm C D ...
Em/CBroadcast me, scrambled clean
BmOr free me from this flesh
Cmaj7Let the armchair cannibals take their fill
DIn every cell across wilderness
Em/CWe'll trip such a strangled tango
BmWe'll waltz a wonderland affair
Cmaj7Let's run to meet the tide tomorrow
DLeave all emotion dying there
Cmaj7In the sBmtar Ecold beyond all of your dreams
(Chorus)
Bm C D ...
Ah!
