[Verse 1]
C
I turn awake, I'm just sleep rising,
Am
I put on my clothes, sleep gliding,
G Am
Onto the bus, sleep riding to work again, to work again!
C
I swipe-in the door, sleep lifting,
Am
Up to my floor, sleep drifting,
G Am
A number twenty-four, white coffee with a sweetener, a sweetener!
[Chorus]
C G Em Am
This artificial ...me, I'd like to show you what I really could be,
C G
I'd like to run across the office tables,
Am G Am G
Singing, "No, you won't have me! No, no, you won't have me!
Am G Am G
No, no, you won't have me! No, no, you won't have me!
Am G C
And I'll ...keep a -running 'til I reach the sea------!"

[Verse 2]
C
I switch on my machine, sleep typing,
Am
I answer the phone, sleep hyping,
G Am
Am I alone? I don't really know what I'm selling, I'm selling!
C
And the boss wants a word, I've been daydreaming,
Am
The boss wants a word, clockwatching,
G Am
I wish I was a bird, I'd fly right out of the window, the window!
[Chorus]
C G Em Am
This artificial ...me, I'd like to show you what I really could be,
C G
I'd like to run across the office tables,
Am G Am G
Singing, "No, you won't have me! No, no, you won't have me!
Am G Am G
No, no, you won't have me! No, no, you won't have me!
Am G C
And I'll ...keep a - running 'til I reach the sea------!"

Up to my floor, sleep drifting,

A number twenty-four, white coffee with a sweetener, a sweetener!

And I'll run across the office tables,
