Verse 1:
F                    Bb
  From small pins to fiery burns
Eb                            Bb
  These are the signals of my dying nerves
F                            Bb
  Singed by the heat of your lines and curves
Eb                        Bb
  Into a fire that could scorch the earth
F
  I'm going through the motions
Bb
  I'm going through the motions
Eb
  I'm going through the motions
Bb
  I'm going through them
      F       Bb            Eb  Bb
But I can't remember how to feel


Chorus:
F
  If this is chemical
  Bb
Oh  if this is chemical
  Eb
Oh  if this is chemical
  Bb
Oh  if this is chemical
     F         Bb          Eb
Then I am not afraid to be bound 
       Bb
to the impulses of science
F
  If this is chemical
  Bb
Oh  if this is chemical
  Eb
Oh  if this is chemical
  Bb
Oh  if this is chemical
     F         Bb
Then I am not ashamed to 
   Eb           Bb
be owned by the impulses


Verse 2:
F                      Bb
  From small shocks to surging bolts
Eb                             Bb
  These are the signals of my spinal post
F
  Sent down the wires through 
      Bb
their lines and folds
Eb                  Bb
  Into a riot on my frontal lobe
F
  I'm going through the motions
Bb
  I'm going through the motions
Eb
  I'm going through the motions
Bb
  I'm going through them
      F       Bb            Eb  Bb
But I can't remember how to feel
      F              Bb
Since I ran my hands over you
Eb                Bb
Nothing else will ever 
   F  Bb           Eb  Bb
do now  To cool me down


(Repeat Chorus)

Nothing else will ever do

Since I ran my hands over you
Eb                Bb
Nothing else will ever do
      F              Bb
Since I ran my hands over you
Eb                Bb
Nothing else will ever 
   F  Bb           Eb  Bb
do now  To cool me down


(Repeat Chorus)
