[Capo on 1]

Em            G             D
Its been like this from the start,
                 Am
One piece after another to make my heart
Em              G              D
You mistake the game for being smart,
                 Am
Stand here, sell this and hit your mark.
Em                   G                           D
But the sound of the steel and the crush and the grind
                       Am
It all screams "Who am I to decide my life?"
Em                 G                           D
But in time it all dies there's nothing left inside
                                      Am        
Just rusted metal that was never even mine

        Em
I would scream
        G                D
But I'm just this hollow shell
        Am            Em
Waiting here, begging please,
       D             
Set me free so I can feel
    Em
Hee-ey

               G                D
Stop trying to live my life for me, I need to breathe
    Am
I'm not your robot
Em                  G                 D
Stop telling me I'm part of the big machine, I'm breaking free
Am
Can't you see,
      Em          G
I can love, I can speak
        D             Am        Em
Without somebody else operating me
            G             D
You gave me eyes so now I see
             Am
I'm not your robot, I'm just me

Em       G                 D
All this time I've been misled
                      Am                Em
There was nothing but cross-wires in my head,
                    G                 D                      
I've been taught to think that what I feel doesn't matter at all
                Am
So you say it's real

        Em
I would scream
        G                D
But I'm just this hollow shell
        Am            Em
Waiting here, begging please,
       D             
Set me free so I can feel
    Em
Hee-ey

               G                D
Stop trying to live my life for me, I need to breathe
    Am
I'm not your robot
Em                  G                 D
Stop telling me I'm part of the big machine, I'm breaking free
Am
Can't you see,
      Em          G
I can love, I can speak
        D             Am        Em
Without somebody else operating me
            G             D
You gave me eyes so now I see
             Am              Em
I'm not your robot, I'm just me
