probably best to either tune to drop A or use an octave pedal w/ some other effects since this is a synth song

[Verse 1]
E
C
  We're in the building where they make us grow
         A
And I'm frightened by the liquid engineers
       E
Like you

[Verse 2]
C
  My Mallory heart is sure to fail
         A
I could crawl around the floor just like I'm real
       E
Like you

[Verse 3]
C
  The sound of metal
                     A
I want to be... you
I could learn to be a man
       E
Like you

[Bridge]
C
  Plug me in
                A
And turn me on
                          F
Oh, everything is moving

F

[Verse 4]
E

C
  I need my treatment it's tomorrow they send me
        A
Singing I am an American
      E
Do you?

[Verse 5]
C
  Picture this, if I could make the change
     A
I'd love to pull the wires from the wall
       E
Did you?

[Verse 6]
C
  And who are you
                    A
And how can I... try?
Here inside I like metal
           E
Arent't you?

[Outro]
C
  All I know
                A
Is no one dies
                                   F
I'm still confusing love with need

F
