the chords as best I could see them from the video and from being a relatively novice guitarist. Your
comments are welcome and appreciated!
[Intro]
Bm
At a night time washstand you're staring me down
Bm A G
You had me so embarrassed
A
And this restaurant crowd was oh so loud
Bm
Your face had been crying you were ravaged by jealousy
A G
You said look what love has done to me
D
We could slip out the back right now if you want to save me
[Pre-Chorus]
G A
Cause I know you know I know you want me
G A
You start to haunt me I feel the danger
G D
Do you like holding on to the company of strangers
(hold D for a 4-count before verse)
[Verse 2]
Bm
She said promise not to kill me and maybe I will let you in
A G
Her apartment is cold as a mace can
A
She said I just want to get it I don't need to understand
Bm
I said show me your true face and She said I'd rather wear a blindfold
A G
Truth be told I want a robot
D
A robot heart is all I want
[Pre-Chorus]
G A
If you're the one who knows me best
G A
So tell me why, why do I feel so so so so so so depressed
G A
I want to live a life of danger
G D
I like holding on to the company of strangers
[Chorus]
G D
I like holding on to the company of strangers
G D
I like holding on to the company of strangers
G D
(You are the one who knows me best)
(hold D for a 4-count)
[Interlude]
D G
In your eyes what you see
D
Is what you want me to be
Bm
So that's what I will be
D
What you want me to be
Bm
That's what I will be
D
What you want me to be
[Verse 3]
D Bm
Fu-fu-fuck, a-fuck away the emptiness until you get caught
A G
In the loving arms of a robot
D
A robot heart is all you've got
[Pre-Chorus]
G A
If you're the one who knows me best
G A
Tell me why, why do I feel so so so so so second best
G A
I want to live a life of danger
G D
I like holding on to the company of strangers
[Chorus]
G D
I like holding on to the company of strangers
G D
I like holding on to the company of strangers
D
(You are the one who knows me best)
D (8-count)
Finish on G
