[Intro]
F

[Verse 1]
F                         Bb
  Don't stare at them for too long
                        Dm
Laugh some, but not too much
                      Bb
And sing the words to that song
                F
But only the chorus
                     Bb
If someone says they want you
                            Dm
Don't flinch, just let them touch
                  Bb              F
It doesn't really matter what you want

[Pre-Chorus]
                        Bb*                C*
I know you wanna be yourself like everyone else
           A*            A*
But you've always needed help

[Chorus]
             Bb                              Dm
Memorize the manual, you're hopeless on your own
                    Bb                         F
If you make it look natural, then, nobody will know
                 Bb                            Dm
The story of the robot who knows they'll never be
               Bb                   F*
More than a machine learning how to please

[Verse 2]
                 Bb
Make social calculations
                             Dm
Know when you're supposed to cry
                 Bb
Fake real communication
                       F
Rehearse your scripted lines
               Bb
Is living a performance?
                   Dm
Depends how it's defined
                     Bb                    F
Forget that all your friends don't have to try

[Pre-Chorus]
                        Bb*                C*
I know you wanna be yourself like everyone else
           A*            A*
But that's not where you excel

[Chorus]
             Bb                              Dm
Memorize the manual, you're hopeless on your own
                    Bb                         F
If you make it look natural, then, nobody will know
                 Bb                            Dm
The story of the robot who knows they'll never be
               Bb                   F
More than a machine learning how to please
                    Bb                         Dm
Be just what they expected, don't come as a surprise
                        Bb                             F
They might take you for granted, that's just a part of life
                      Bb                            Dm
If you stick with the program, maybe one day you'll be
              Bb                    F
More than a machine learning how to please

[Post-Chorus]
                        Bb          Dm
I know you wanna be yourself, oh-ooh
                        Bb                 F
I know you wanna be yourself like everyone else
                      Bb                            Dm
If you stick with the program, maybe one day you'll be
              Bb                    F
More than a machine learning how to please

[Outro]
                  Bb                              Dm
Just memorize the manual, you're hopeless on your own
                    Bb                         F
If you make it look natural, then, nobody will know
                 Bb                     Dm
The story of the robot who had a secret dream
                    Bb                   F*
To be more than a machine, more than a machine
