[Verse 1]E
I choose to fight for the
A
light that I see slipping
E
You forget your heart when
A
you're aiming for the end
Not aiming for the start
E
You could fall down
C#m
You'll get there and you
BA
won't know where you've been
Be the master of the
F#mE
obsolete machine
[Verse 2]E
Do you remember beginning
A
When your face was
for a friend
Your best foot's for
E
your friend in need
C#mB
And the stats did not apply
A
to your scene?
You were the master of
F#mE
the obsolete machine
[Solo]C#mEC#m[Verse 3]E
Would you mind if I fell,
A
if I fell for you again
E
Your name was so renowned
A
when pronounced that way
Can you hold me for a day
E
so I can calm down?
C#m
You'll get there and you
BA
won't know where you've been
C#mB
Who told you that your love
A
should be clean?
You're a slave to the
F#mE
obsolete machine
AF#m
A slave to the obsolete
E
machine
