Intro C5 - G5 - F5 - G5




Verse 1:
(Palm mute)

C5                  G5
From small pins to fiery burns,
F5                          G5
These are the signals of my dying nerves
C5                          G5
Singed by the heat of your lines and curves
F5                     G5
Into a fire that could scorch the earth

Pre-chorus:
(Palm mute)

C5
I'm going through the motions
G5
I'm going through the motions
F5
I'm going through the motions
G5
I'm going through 'em
      C5       G5            F5    G5
But I can't remember how to feel

Chorus:

C5
If this is chemical,
G5
Oh if this is chemical,
F5
Oh if this is chemical,
G5
Oh if this is chemical,
     C5         G5          F5           G5
Then I am not afraid to be bound to the impulses of science

C5
If this is chemical,
G5
Oh if this is chemical,
F5
Oh if this is chemical,
G5
Oh if this is chemical,
     C5         G5           F5           G5
Then I am not ashamed to be owned by the impulses

Verse 2:
(Palm mute)

C5                    G5
From small shocks to surgin' bolts
F5                            G5
These are the signals from my spinal post
C5                                 G5
Sent down the wires through their lines and folds
F5                G5
Into a riot on my frontal lobe

Pre-chorus:
(Palm mute)

C5
I'm going through the motions
G5
I'm going through the motions
F5
I'm going through the motions
G5
I'm going through 'em
      C5       G5            F5    G5
But I can't remember how to feel

(Strum down, up, palm mute down, pause - twice for each chord. Listen to the song for the rhythm.)
      C5              G5
Since I ran my hands over you
F5                G5      C5   G5             F5        G5
Nothing else will ever do now     To cool me      down

Then I am not afraid to be bound to the impulses of science
