[C]The day they found me, [G]I hadn't yet been played
[C]Inside my workshop [G]behind the old arcade
[F]Electric desires had [C]unraveled all my wires
[F]Now I'm in [G]the box for safekeeping
[C]The news reporters [G]reported that I died
[Am]But all my organs [Em]were living on inside
[F]Circuit board to brain [C]with two lungs collecting change
[F]One big human [G]heart gently beeping
[Am]You can't win me, [G]I can't be beat
[F]I won't hurt [Em]you unless you cheat
[Am]You can't see [G]me behind the screen
[F]I'm half human [G]and half machine
[Am]Thank God for business, they [G]let me take the floor
[F]I stood so proudly, like [Em]I was going to war
[Am]Players soon appeared and [G]I quickly was revered
[C]This must be what [G]love would have felt like
[C]Such dedication, they [G]came from miles away
[F]With eyes so piercing, they'd [C]wait their turn to play
[F]In perfect patient lines because [G]I was in their minds
[C]I could do whatever I [G]felt like (whatever I felt like)
[Am]You can't win me, [Em]I can't be beat
[F]I won't hurt [G]you unless you cheat
[C]You can't see [C]me behind the screen
[G]I'm half human [C]and half machine
[G]I'm happy for [F]years and years
[C]And, only eating [F]the occasional maintenance man
[G]Only driving a [C]few kids to madness
[G]Maybe they were predisposed [Am]to madness, who knows?
[Em]I only want [F]to have fun
[C]But now they're telling me [F]my days here are done
[G]'Cause there's a tiny little [Am]box they make in Japan
[G]And pretty soon it's [F]gonna fit in your hand
[Em]It's getting lonely, it's [Am]getting hard to breathe
[G]The arcade's empty, I [F]think it's Christmas Eve
[G]Someone's broken in, now [Am]they're painting on my skin
[G]Breaking me and [F]taking my quarters
[Em]Bashing in my [Am]face with a crowbar
[G]Kicking me and [C]pushing me over
[G]Now they see my [C]blood on their sneakers
[G]You can't win me, [F]I can't be beat
[C]I won't hurt [F]you unless you cheat
[G]You can't see [C]me behind the screen
[G]I'm half human [Am]and half machine
