CAPO 7
 
[Intro]
Em
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em                    G          C
I don’t know what you’ve been told
Em                     G          D     C
But I don’t get out much these days
Em                  G
Waking young and feeling old
    C
The days are no longer my own
   Em            G         D     C
To piss away the waking hours
 
 
[Chorus]
    Em
But don’t, don’t, don’t
      C
Don’t let them go
Em
Don’t, don’t, don’t
      C                 G
Don’t let them go to waste
               D               Em
The fire in my eye is fleeting now
           C
Your robot heart is bleeding 
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em              G     C
Tried to be the robot king
Em                G     D     C
And settled for a robot boy
Em                  G
Ring the bells that still can ring
    C
And sing your stupid head off to
Em            G      D    C
The ones who are not listening
 
 
[Bridge]
    G                     D
And I've spend half of my life
                        Em
In the customer service line
                  C
Flaws in the design
                  G
A sign of the times
 
                  D
And that little voice
                    Em
In the back of your mind
                     C
Just wants you to know
                       C
Just hopes that you know
 
 
[Outro]
G                D
Robots need love too
                         Em
They want to be loved by you
                         C
They want to be loved by you.
                      G
They want to be loved by    
(repeat indefinitely)

One little lyric correction.... The fire in my eyes is bleeding(should be "fleeting") And now your robot heart is bleeding.... Great tune... Thanks for the tab!

Great tab but there's a D in the second line of each chorus: Em G C I don’t know what you’ve been told Em G D C But I don’t get out much these days Em G Waking young and feeling old C These days are no longer my own Em G D C To piss away the waking hour

Interestingly, if you check out the following live performance, it does look like Mangan is playing this with the capo at the 7th fret: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZfP8yIYy1U
