[Verse 1]

D
Cut your life into the steel

Take your place behind the wheel
                             A
Watch the metal scene just peel away
D
Don't forget me, don't regret me

Don't replace and don't upset me
                                        A
But don't forget to come and get me someday

[Verse 2]

D
I was somewhere far away

But I knew I couldn't stay
                      A
German girls in an expose
D
Sitting on an empty train

Staring at the winter rain
                                   A
Going through the scene again and again

[Chorus]

Bm               F#m
Poor tormented automan
A             E
Giant pincers for a hand
Bm             F#m          A   E
Sinking slowly in the sand
Bm            F#m
Chrome injury on his cheek
A                E
Three days strong, four days weak
Bm           F#m            A   E
Listen as he tries to speak
                     D
If only I could feel

[Verse 3]

D
Falling down standing still

Always there's more time to kill
                                  A
Flamingos startled in a shrill display
D
Don't forget me, don't regret me

Don't replace and don't upset me
                                        A
But don't forget to come and get me someday

[Chorus]

Bm               F#m
Poor tormented automan
A             E
Giant pincers for a hand
Bm             F#m          A   E
Sinking slowly in the sand
Bm            F#m
Chrome injury on his cheek
A                E
Three days strong, four days weak
Bm           F#m            A   E
Listen as he tries to speak
                     D
If only I could feel
