Verse 1:
Bb C F G
The day they found me, I hadn't yet been played
Bb C F G
Inside my workshop behind the old arcade
Bb C
Electric desires
F G
Had unraveled all my wires
Bb C F G
Now I'm in the box for safekeeping
Bb C F G
The news reporters reported that I died
Bb C F G
But all my organs were living on inside
Bb C
Circuit board to brain
F G
With two lungs collecting change
Bb C F G
One big human heart gently beeping
Chorus:
Bb C F G
You can't win me, I can't be beat
Bb C A B5 A5 G5 F5
I won't hurt you, unless you cheat
Bb C F G
You can't see me behind the screen
Bb C A B5 A5 G5 F5
I'm half human and half machine
Verse 2:
Bb C F G
Thank God for business, they let me take the floor
Bb C F G
I stood so proudly, like I was going to war
Bb C F G
Players soon appeared, and I quickly was revered
Bb C F G
This must be what love would have felt like
Bb C F G
Such dedication, they came from miles away
Bb C F G
With eyes so piercing, they'd wait their turn to play
Bb C F G
Perfect patient lines, because I was in their minds
Bb C F C Dm
I could do whatever I felt like -Whatever I felt like-
Chorus:
Bb C F G
You can't win me, I can't be beat
Bb C A B5 A5 G5 F5
I won't hurt you, unless you cheat
Bb C F G
You can't see me behind the screen
Bb C A B5 A5 G5 F5
I'm half human and half machine
Verse 3:
Dm G
I'm happy for years and years
Dm G C
And only eaten the occasional maintenance man
F
Only driving a few kids to madness
C F Am
Maybe they were predisposed to madness, who knows?
E
I only want to have fun
Am E
But now they're telling me my days here are done
F G
Cause there's a little tiny box they make in Japan
F G
And pretty soon it's gonna fit in your hand
Bb C F G
It's getting lonely, it's getting hard to breathe
Bb C F G
The arcade's empty, I think it's Christmas Eve
Bb C F G
Someone's broken in, now they're painting on my skin
Bb C F G
Breaking me and taking my quarters
Bb C F G
Bashing in my face with a crowbar
Bb C F G
Kicking me and pushing me over
Bb C G Bb
Now they see my blood on their sneakers
Interlude:: G
Chorus:
Bb C F G
You can't win me, I can't be beat
Bb C A B5 A5 G5 F5
I won't hurt you, unless you cheat
Bb C F G
You can't see me behind the screen
Bb C A B5 A5 G5 F5
I'm half human and half machine
