Jonathan Coulton - Better

^C In fact I am ^Csus4sure I can blame it on ^Gyou I remember the ^F/Cfirst big ^Csurprise The ^Gday you came home with your ^F/Cinfrared ^Ceyes ^AmI looked ^G/Binsi^Cde them, but ^Dm7all I could see Were ^F/Ctiny reflections of ^Gme^{C/G G7}

But it’s not me it?^F/C??s you, what you’re turn^Cing into Is some kind of ^Dm7something that I never ^Cknew You used to be ^F/COK and I liked you ^Cthat way But I ^Amdon’t think tha^Am7/Gt I like yo^D7/F#u better No I ^F/Cdon’t think tha^Gt I like yo^Cu bette^Csus4r

^C You started out ^Csus4small ^C Some gills and some ^Csus4wings and a few extra ^Cthumbs ^C Now you’re thirteen fee^Csus4t tall ^C Even when you’re^Csus4 asleep your machiner^Gy hums And I’m tired of th^F/Ce evenings ^CI spend ^GMaking small talk with your ^F/Cnew robot ^Cfriends And their ^Amstupid ^G/Binsi^Cstence on ^Dm7scanning my iris When ^F/Cthey know damn well who I ^Gam^{C/G G7}

And you look like the ^F/Cvictim of a surgical ^Ccrime A little Darth ^Dm7Vader, a little Optimus ^CPrime You used to be ^F/COK and I liked you th^Cat way But I ^Amdon’t think tha^Am7/Gt I like yo^D7/F#u better No I ^F/Cdon’t think tha^Gt I like yo^Abu better

^C So that’s how i^Csus4t goes ^C Snap your mandibles ^Csus4once to say you ^Cunderstand Now hold me ^Csus4close ^C Wait, now that’^Csus4s too close, you’re crushing^G my hand I can tell by that ^F/Cshrieking ^Calarm That ^Gyour weapons systems are ^F/Cactive and ^Carmed ^AmDo m^G/Be a ^Cfavor and ^Dm7power them down ^F/CJust so we don’t have ^Ga sce^C/Gne ^G7

And I wish it was ^F/Cdifferent, but we’re just not th^Ce same At least we got ^Dm7someone we know we can ^Cblame You used to be ^F/COK and I liked you ^Cthat way But I ^Amdon’t think tha^Am7/Gt I like yo^D7/F#u better No I ^F/Cdon’t think tha^Gt I like yo^Cu better
