A5 B5 A5 B5 A5 B5 E5 (2 fr.)

    E5               C#5          A5  B5
Sometimes I kind of miss the old XJ-9
            E5            C#5  A5 B5
    that we used to call Jane
E5              C#5             A5         B5
Really good at cleaning and we got along fine
         E5           C#5  A5 B5
    so I couldn?t complain
C#5                               Ab5
Lately she?d been getting tangled up in the shag rug
    E5                               F#5
And finally one wheel just wouldn?t spin
      F#5                     D5
So we said our goodbyes and I traded her in

     E5                 C#5              A5         B5
This new one?s kind of creepy, makes me shudder inside
             E5     C#5 A5 B5
    with his idiot grin
     E5                C#5              A5          B5
He?s head to toe with muscles and they ripple and slide
          E5           C#5 A5 B5
    under translucent skin
    C#5                                 Ab5
Sometimes he?ll stand for hours looking into the mirror
    E5                            F#5
And flexing like some guy at the gym
        F#5               D5
And I?m easily ten inches shorter than him

E5        F#5 Ab5 C#5
Todd the T  1000 scares me
  F#5            F#m(7M)        F#5       B5
I don?t think he knows I?ve got a right to exist
       E5          F#5      Ab5       C#5
And he sits in my favorite chair and dares me
    F#5         F#m(7M)  F#5     B5
And when I look over he is making a fist
    A5      B5    A5    B5 A5 B5 E5 (2 fr.)
One finger at a time

  E5                C#5           A5          B5
I ask him if he?ll vacuum and he doesn?t respond,
          E5            C#5  A5 B5
    but I know that he heard
  E5                  C#5             A5               B5
I turn and catch him looking when he thinks that I?m gone
           E5            C#5 A5 B5
    and he flips me the bird
  C#5                                    Ab5
I asked him when we started, please stay out of the bedroom
    E5                         F#5
But I don?t think I?m safe anywhere
       F#5                    D5
When I wake in the dark I can tell that he?s there

E5        F#5 Ab5 C#5
Todd the T  1000 scares me
  F#5            F#m(7M)        F#5       B5
I don?t think he knows I?ve got a right to exist
       E5          F#5      Ab5       C#5
And he sits in my favorite chair and dares me
    F#5         F#m(7M)  F#5     B5
And when I look over he is making a fist
    A5      B5    A5    B5
One finger at a time

     A5           B5                A5        B5
So I live like a ghost while he?s living like me
A5        B5        A5 B5
It?s not my house any  more
      A5             B5               C#5       B5
And I sneak out the door while he?s watching TV
A5         B5      A5   B5
Head down to the cyborg store
Ab5       C#5         Ab5           C#5
I get some new arms installed at the store
Ab5    C#5      Ab5   C#5
Buy the biggest ones I can
A5            B5              A5        B5
Head back to my house, Todd answers the door
A5       B5         A5   B5
He sees more than just a man

   E5              C#5              A5          B5
My right arm is a smasher like the trunk of a tree
            E5            C#5 A5 B5
    and the left one?s a saw
  E5                C#5        A5          B5
I cut the couch in half and I smash the TV
            E5          C#5 A5 B5
    with my big smashy claw
     C#5                                Ab5
He?s standing still and silent, I can?t tell what he?s thinking
   E5                           F#5
He blinks a single glowing red eye
     F#5                       D5
So I give him a shove and then Todd starts to cry

E5        F#5 Ab5 C#5
Todd the T1000 scares me
    F#5        F#m(7M)        F#5       B5
But I think he knows I?ve got a right to exist
       E5          F#5      Ab5       C#5
And he sits in my favorite chair and dares me
    F#5           F#m(7M) F#5     B5
But when he looks over I am making a fist
    A5      B5    A5    B5 A5 B5 E5 (2 fr.)
One finger at a time
