Intro: C5 C4C5 C5 

Verse 1
C5             C5
 
Where did we go?
C5             C5                   C5
 
When was the moment that we broke in two?
          C5

I think I know
C5             C5                  G5
 In fact I am sure I can blame it on you
               F5       C5
I remember the first big surprise
    G5                           F5      C5
The day you came home with your infrared eyes
A5       G5 C5            D5
I looked inside them , but all I could see
     F5                 G5 C5 G5
Were tiny reflections of me

Chorus
                     F5                        C5
But it?s not me it?s you, what you?re turning into
                D5                    C5
Is some kind of something that I never knew
               F5                C5
You used to be OK and I liked you that way
      A5               A5      D5
But I don?t think that I like you better
     F5              G5          C5      C5
No I don?t think that I like you better

Verse 2
C5                C5
 You started out small
C5                    C5                 C5
 Some gills and some wings and a few extra thumbs
C5                         C5
 Now you?re thirteen feet tall
C5                  C5                G5
 Even when you?re asleep your machinery hums
                     F5        C5
And I?m tired of the evenings I spend
G5                           F5       C5
Making small talk with your new robot friends
          A5     G5 C5         D5
And their stupid insistence on scanning my iris
     F5                       G5 C5 G5
When they know damn well who I am

Chorus
                      F5                  C5
And you look like the victim of a surgical crime
               D5                     C5
A little Darth Vader, a little Optimus Prime
               F5                  C5
You used to be OK and I liked you that way
      A5               A5      D5
But I don?t think that I like you better
     F5              G5          Ab5
No I don?t think that I like you better

Verse 3
C5                 C5
 So that?s how it goes
C5                    C5           C5
 Snap your mandibles once to say you understand
             C5
 Now hold me close
C5                 C5                         G5
 Wait, now that?s too close, you?re crushing my hand
                   F5       C5
I can tell by that shrieking alarm
     G5                        F5        C5
That your weapons systems are active and armed
A5  G5 C5         D5
Do me a favor and power them down
F5                     G5    C5 G5
Just so we don?t have a scene

Chorus
                  F5                               C5
And I wish it was different, but we?re just not the same
                D5                    C5
At least we got someone we know we can blame
               F5                C5
You used to be OK and I liked you that way
      A5               A5      D5
But I don?t think that I like you better
     F5              G5          C5          
No I don?t think that I like you better
