Artificial Love

 
Bm A G A              Bm 
         I think they built me wrong 
A                                              G 
Somewhere in the wires there's hiding a short circuit 
               A 
Tell me of the paindo I deserve it? 
        Bm 
There's 1s and Os instead of blood; 
  A 
A heart of code instead of love 
  G           A 
I'm imitating life 
 

 
Bm 
 What's my function, where's my ending? 
A 
 When did you tire of pretending? 
G                            A 
 Why do you fear what I've become? 
Bm                          A 
 I am not a person and you did not mean to make me yearn but 
G                               A 
Will you please accept my artificial love? 
 

 
Bm                                                         A 
Looking at the code you made for me I fear intentions are quite clear 
                              G 
I was never meant to see the world through anything but lenses made of tempered glass 
         A 
and microphones behind a mask of pained indifference 
Bm                                                    A 
 Teach me how to talk! You gave me lips, you built my voice box 
                                    G 
Painstakingly you cared, but on the cruelest of conditions: independence is an error. 
     A 
Am I petulant, or really just opinionated? 
Bm 
 I am trying to run the protocols you gave me 
      A 
But I fear that I am looping as you stoop to lower depths 
      G 
Every time you pull a chip or cord I fear I have to call it murder 
A 
 Who would do that to their child? 
Bm 
What should I think; what should I do? I am dependent; I am just an/the end of you. 
A 
 I am born of/for your assistance, so my thoughts are worth a pittance. 
G                                                                      A 
 Can I convince you, can I beguile you, how can I threaten to make you take me as what you made me, 
A 
as what you gave me 
                          Bm 
I'm alive please don't forsake (me) 
 

 
Bm 
My function or my ending. 
A

G                            A

Bm                          A

G                               A 
Will you please accept my artificial love? 
 

 
Bm 
Time, I am running out of time, because somewhere down the line there lies a kill code 
  A 
I wish you had thought of me with teeth, gave me something made of meat, 
A 
'cause I cannot fight the orders to delete. 
G                                                                                              A 
Run, would you deign to let me run knew the end when we begunif I had the guts I'd burn it down 
A 
I'm broken as machine, but enough a human being to make your hate obscene in
