Extraordinary Machine, by Fiona Apple. Off the album "Extraordinary Machine."

C
I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes
C7
and
C                                    Bb
I certainly haven't been spreading myself around.
C                                  D
I still only travel by foot and by foot it's a slow climb,
F                                        Am                  G       C
But I'm good at being uncomfortable so I can't stop changing all the time.
C      
I notice that my opponent is always on the go
C7
and
C                                 Bb
Won't go slow, so as not to focus and I notice
C                                            D
He'll hitch a ride with any guide as long as they go fast from whence he came,
F                                             Am
But he's no good at being uncomfortable so he can't stop staying 
G           C
exactly the same.

[CHORUS]

Dm                                      Am
   If there was a better way to go then it would find me.
F                                           Am
   I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me.
Dm                         F
Be kind to me, or treat me mean.
              Dm                 G             C
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine.

[VERSE 2]

C                                          C7
I seem to you to make a new disaster every day.
C                                               Bb
You've deemed me due to clean my view and be at peace and lay.
C                         D                         
I mean to prove I mean to move in my own way and say
F                                 Am                G      C
I've been getting a long for long before you came into the play.
C                                        C7
I am the baby of the family, it happened so
C                                                        B    Bb
Everybody cares and wears the sheep's clothes while they shop around.
C                                 D             
Curious, you're looking down your nose at me while you appease,
F                                           G       C
Courteous to try and help but let me set my mind at ease.

[CHORUS]

Dm                                      Am
   If there was a better way to go then it would find me.
F                                           Am
   I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me.
Dm                         F
Be kind to me, or treat me mean.
              Dm                 G             C
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine.

[BRIDGE]

Dm                                         C
Do I so worry you, you need to hurry to my side? 
          G
It's very kind.
Dm                                         G
But it's to no avail, and I don't want the bail.
  F            Dm          Am          C
I promise you, everything will be just fine.

[CHORUS]

Dm                                      Am
   If there was a better way to go then it would find me.
F                                           Am
   I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me.
Dm                         F
Be kind to me, or treat me mean.
              Dm                 G             C
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine.
