I think you're cute my name is Ashley
                     E            E
And I work at the computer store
E                        A
That's what I never say to Kyle
                   F#m                 B7
The barista at the coffee shop next door
E                          A
I watch him sadly from the counter
                        E             E
Where I always pick the wobbly stool

A
He hands me
N.C
My latte
F#m
And smirks in
N.C
This hot way
F#m
But I just
            B7
Cannot play cool

[Verse 1]

E                       A
The clear and logical solution
                   E
Is to send a robot in my place
                      A
A robot modeled after me except that
                  F#m               B7
She can deal with Kyle face to face
E                      A
Been working on her 40 weeks or so
                    E
With barely time to sleep or eat


A
Her parts are
A
Built custom
F#m
All that's left
F#m
Are just some
F#m
Last circuits
          B7
I must complete [silenced]

[Chorus]

I wish I were you

Instructions tell you what to do
E                              B7
And if you fail you can't feel blue

When you're good to go
      A                 F#m
Maybe then at last I'll know

How to fix the bugs in Ashley 1.0

[Verse 2]

E                        A
The final chip arrived today so
                    E
I install it in the vacant port
                         A
I solder in the last connections

Hit the power switch
    B7
And pray there's not a short
E
She whirs to life
          A
Her optic sensors turn my way
         E*
I wonder what they see


A*
She holds out

Her hand to
F#m*
Accept my command
  F#m(back to pattern)
Ooh, I have made
            B7 (silenced)
A brand new me

[Chorus]

Now you're good to go
      A                 F#m

How to fix the bugs in Ashley 1.0


[Bridge pattern 1]
(strum B7 once)
A F#m A F#m B7

A
She walks up to the counter
F#m
Run program talk to Kyle
A
Sub-routine order latte
F#m
Call function wave and smile
A
Parse input 'Hey, how are you?'
F#m
Play text to voice 'I'm fine'
A
Parse input 'You seem different'
F#m                    A            B7  A
And suddenly I see the flaw in my design

[Bridge pattern 2]
(number = finger/play with respective chord)
A|--4--------4--------4-------| 
E|-----3--------3--------3----| 
C|--------2--------2----------| 
G|--1--------1--------1-------| 

F#m
If I wrote this program perfectly
        E
I won't need to make corrections
       F#m
But if Kyle falls for Robot me
B7                         A
He'll never love my imperfections


A
So I abort the program
B7
And quickly call her back
F#m
I start the shutdown process
A
But then she turns to me
F#m                    B7
Before the screen goes black


[Chorus]

E
Human Ashley
E
I wish I were you
A
No one can tell you what to do
E              A                 B7
The things you feel are real and true


E
Human Ashley
E
Do not envy me
    A                      F#m
You know all that life can be
       A             B7
I wish I knew how it feels to be so free

[Outro]
E                   A
So I see Kyle the barista
                      E             E
At the coffee shop he looks my way
E
I think you're cute
           A
My name is Ashley
                     B7
And I work at the computer store
  B7
I say
