[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
 B                       A
 won't know where you've been
Be the master of the
  F#m       E
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#m           B
And the stats did not apply
         A
 to your scene?
You were the master of
     F#m        E
the obsolete machine
[Solo]
C#m E C#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
 B                       A
 won't know where you've been
    C#m                B
Who told you that your love
           A
 should be clean?
You're a slave to the
  F#m     E
 obsolete machine
  A             F#m
A slave to the obsolete
  E
 machine

How to play Obsolete Machine: key, chords and progression

These are Obsolete Machine chords by Didirri on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Obsolete Machine by Didirri is built around E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯), with 5 chords in all: E, A, C#m, B and F#m.

The backbone of the song is E – A – E – C#m (I – IV – I – vi in E major). In solfa, that is doh – fah – doh – lah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.

Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes D, G, Bm, A, Em (80% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 40% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
