Verse 2: Same deal.
I'm the face in the clock nothing comes as a shock
Inner workings are hidden away
Keep on serving my time til the hour arrives

Pre-Chorus: Same as above.
I don't need DNA 
For a radioactive display
Am I lost in the day? 

CHORUS: Same as above
A skeleton can't bruise
No blood for me to lose
Where is the life I knew
Wish that I could be human

Bridge: Strumming these chords, all downward.

F                      G
Starting to feel like a robot
F (bar)          C     G
Living without an identity
F                      G
I wonder if ill have permission
F                  C        G
I wonder if I am allowed to be

A skeleton can't bruise

CHORUS repeat: Strumming

F          C           G  Am
A skeleton can't bruise
F          C          G Am
No blood for me to lose
F          C            G Am
Where is the life I knew
F          C         G Am
Wish that I could be human
