The day they found me, I hadn't yet been played
Inside my workshop behind the old arcade

One big human heart gently beeping

Thank God for business, they let me take the floor
I stood so proudly, like I was going to war

A|----------33333333-----------------------------------|
E|-66666666----------11111111-33333333-----------------| x2

A|----------33333333-----------------------------------|
E|-66666666----------11111111-33333333-----------------| x2

In perfect patient lines, because I was in their minds
I could do whatever I felt like

[Bridge]
 
(2:36)
I'm happy for years and years and
Only eating the occasional maintenance man
Only driving a few kids to madness
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------------------------------------------|
A|-5~---------------5~--------------3~-----------------|
E|---------3~--------------3~--------------1~----------|
 
(2:44)
Maybe they were predisposed to madness, who knows?
I only want to have fun
But now they're telling me my days here are done
G|-----------------------------------------------------|
D|-------334567-7--7h9---------------------------------|
A|---3~------------------7-7-5-7-----------------------|

'Cause there's a tiny little box they make in Japan
And pretty soon it's going to fit in your hand

E|-1111--------3333--------1111--------3333------------|
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
(2:58)
It's getting lonely, it's getting hard to breathe
The arcade's empty, I think it's Christmas Eve
(no bass)
 
(3:09)
Someone's broken in, now they're painting on my skin
G|-------------10-12---10-12-14------12-10-------10----|
D|-------11h12------------------10---------11h12-------|
A|-13-13-----------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
 
(3:15)
Breaking me and taking my quarters
Bashing in my face with a crowbar
Kicking me and pushing me over
G|-------------10-12---10-12-14------------------------|
D|-------11h12-----------------------------------------|
A|-13-13-----------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------| x3
 
(3:32)
Now they see my blood on their sneakers
G|-------------10-12-----------------12-10-------10----|
D|-------11h12-----------------------------11h12-------|
A|-13-13-----------------------------------------------|
E|-----------------------------------------------------|
 
 
[Chorus]
 
(3:38)
You can't win me, I can't be beat
I won't hurt you unless you cheat

E|-6-6-6-6---------1-1-1-1-3-3-3-3-6-6-6-6---------5-5-5-5-7-5-3-1-----------|
 
(3:49)
You can't see me behind the screen
I'm half human and half machine
G|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-----------------3-3-3-3-5-3---3-------------------------------------------|
A|---------3-3-3-3-------------5-----------3-3-3-3---------------------------|
