      A#m
If I reach out for you (Yeah-ah)
         Fm
Will it pull me towards you? (Yeah-ah)
          G#
There's a voice that's callin' (Yeah-ah)
     F#
Me into the forest in the night

And I hear you talkin' (Yeah-ah)
And my heart is stallin' (Yeah-ah)
Not gonna restart for you (Yeah-ah)
I've already cut the wire

                A#m
Don't ask me to need you like that
                 G#
Don't ask me to give what I can't
                 D#m
Don't ask me to love you
                 D#
Don't ask me to love you

Chorus:
        A#     Fm
You know I, I don't cut through the static
         G#
Maybe I think too much about it
            D#
If I could love you automatic
I would
A#       Fm
Oh, you make it sound so simple
         G#
Drop my guard and act on impulse
            D#
If I could love you automatic
I would love

 A#
Automatic, I would love
Fm
Automatic, I would love
G#
Automatic, I would love
D#
Automatic, I would love

If I numb on my senses (Yeah-ah)
Could I try pretendin'? (Yeah-ah)
Couldn't be so wreckless (Yeah-ah)
To hide in the corners of my mind
When that cold starts stirring (Yeah-ah)
Couldn't say for certain (Yeah-ah)
That it won't hurt you (Yeah-ah)
I know how to kill the fire

Chorus:
You know I, I can't cut through the static
Maybe I think too much about it
If I could love you automatic
I would
Oh, you make it sound so simple
Drop my guard and act on impulse
If I could love you automatic
I would love

Automatic, I would love
Automatic, I would love
Automatic, I would love
Automatic, I would love

Ah
I, I, I
I would
I, I, I

Automatic, I would love
Automatic, I would love
Automatic, I would love
Automatic, I would love
