[Verse]
Gm Ab   Fm Gm      Ab Fm
I beat my machine
         Gm           Ab Fm
It's a part of me
        Gm            Ab Fm
It's inside of me
Gm  Ab     Fm      Gm   Ab  Fm
I'm stuck in this dream
      Gm               Ab Fm
It's changing me
         Gm         Ab Fm
I am becoming
       Gm         Ab   Fm          Gm            Ab       Fm
The me that you know, he had some second thoughts
        Gm                 Ab   Fm
He's covered with scabs
         Gm        Ab   Fm
He is broken and sore
        Gm               Ab   Fm
The me that you know
      Gm                  Ab        Fm
He doesn't come around much
        Gm         Ab Fm
That part of me
         Gm     Ab    Fm
Isn't here anymore

[Verse]
Gm Ab     Fm          Gm Ab Fm
All pain disappears
            Gm          Ab Fm
It's the nature of
            Gm       Ab Fm
Of my circuitry
Gm         Ab  Fm   Gm  Ab Fm
Drowns out all I hear
      Gm                     Ab Fm
No escape from this
              Gm                 Ab Fm
My new consciousness
       Gm                Ab  Fm
The me that you know
      Gm                    Ab   Fm
He used to have feelings
             Gm                          Ab      Fm              Gm      Ab   Fm
But the blood has stopped pumping and he is left to decay
       Gm                Ab Fm           Gm             Ab  Fm
The me that you know is now made up of wires
        Gm                    Ab           Fm      Gm       Ab  Fm
And even when I'm right with you I'm so far away

[Verse]
         Gm                  Ab Fm
I can try to get away
             Gm                       Ab Fm
But I've strapped myself in
         Gm                   Ab  Fm
I can try to scratch away
        Gm                Ab Fm
The sound in my ears
                   Gm       Ab Fm
I can see it killing away
                Gm         Ab Fm
All of my bad parts
                        Gm   Ab Fm
I don't want to listen
                  Gm        Ab Fm
But it's all too clear

Hiding, backwards inside of me

I feel so unafraid
Gm F    C                  Bb
Annie, hold a little tighter
F C         F
I might just slip away
