(Intro) Em Am C So, it's been like this from the start, D Em One piece after another and made my heart, Am C You mistake the pain for being smart, D Em stand here, sell this, and hit your mark Am But the sound of the steel, C it will crush it will grind, D Em It will scream cause who am I to decide my life? Am But in time it'll die, C Theres nothing left inside, D Am Just rust and metal that was never even mine. C I will scream, G D But Im just this hallow shell, Am Waiting here, C Begging please Em D God, set me free so I can feel Hey! Am C G Stop trying to live my life for me, I need to breathe, D Am Im not your robot C G Stop telling me Im part of this big machine D Im breaking free, Cant you see? Am I can love, C I can speak, G D Am Without somebody else operating me, C G You gave me eyes and now I see, D Im not your robot, Im just me. Em Am All this time, C Ive been misled, D Em There was nothing but cross-wires in my head, Am C I've been taught to think that what I feel, D Am Doesnt matter at all so you say it's real. C I will scream, G D But I'm just this hallow shell, Am Waiting here, C Begging please Em D Set me free so I can feel Hey! Am C G Stop trying to live my life for me, I need to breathe, D Am Im not your robot C G Stop telling me Im part of this big machine D Im breaking free, Cant you see? Am I can love, C I can speak, G D Am Without somebody else operating me, C G You gave me eyes so now I see, D Im not your robot, Im just me. Am C G D Im not your robot, Im just me. Am C G D Am (one strum) Im not your robot. C (one strum) I would scream G (one strum) D (one strum) But Im just this hollow shell Am (one strum) Waiting here C (one strum) Begging please (once strum) D (one strum) Set me free so I can feel Hey! Am C G Stop trying to live my life for me, I need to breathe, (no chord) Am Im not your robot C G Stop telling me I'm part of this big machine D I'm breaking free, Cant you see? Am I can love, C I can speak, G D Am Without somebody else operating me, C G You gave me eyes so now I see, D Im not your robot, Im just me. Am C G D Im not your robot, Im just me. ( Am C G ) D Im not your robot!
