My Bodys A Machine

	  		Intro: C E C 

verse 1 
     Em                      F 
I woke up screaming and swearing in Spanish 
    C 
Clueless to the sounds and smells of people around me 
             Em 
Washed my face in the cracked sink 
              F                                C 
Walked a stained carpet, kissed your naked shoulder and I took to the street 
      Em                                   F 
The trip home isn't is as it always was and always will be 
          C 
Was a stain of pleasant taste of you still in my mouth 
      Em                F                 C 
When I quit smoking I ran out of good reasons to leave the house 


Pre-Chorus 
     G                                              F                                          Em 
The day breaks the skyline like it's not even there, gotta get as quick as I can back to safe or nowhere 

 
       C 
This isn't a healing process, I'm not on the mend 
    Em                                         C                                        Em 
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you terribly and I need to remember that my body's a machine, 
F                    C 
 my body is a machine 


verse 2 
      C                                                     Em 
And you look so tiny and scared in the kitchen doing the dishes on your little tippy-toes 
      C                                                            Em 
I remember before the wreckage I swung your arms from side to side 
           F                                  C 
Danced a waltz on the kitchen tiles and the last time that I touched you 
                                                Em             F 
would be when I brushed your shoulder in the corridor of our old house 
                  C 
We kicked and screamed about whether I was gonna get my bunk back 
                         Em                                         F                                      G 
 but what I was really saying was I still loved you and you were screaming, "get the fuck out of my house" 


Pre-Chorus 
G                                                      F                                       Em 
The day breaks the skyline like it's not even there, gotta get as quick as I can back to safe or nowhere 


       C 
This isn't a healing process, I'm not on the mend 
      Em                                       C                                       Em 
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you terribly and I need to remember that my body's a machine, 
F                     C 
 my body is a machine 



verse 3 
                          Am 
You said it was just another thing that you never explained to me 
          Dm                              A                   Am 
I was pit-walking a median strip near my parents house - going about sixty 
       Am                               Dm         A 
And I flew for the first and only time in my life 


If they hit me, they hit me x8 

They hit me if they 


They hit me if they hit me x8 

They hit me if they
