   A
I pushed and pulled it
  F#m
I let you do it too
     E
Like it was metal
     D
Like it was bulletproof
      A
I forgot to cry when I was sad
  F#m
I forgot to fight when I was mad
   E                                   D
I made the moves that others would approve
              A
But it ain't calculated
         F#m
It ain't by the rules
             E
And you can hate it, baby
                D
But it's gonna do what it's gonna do, yeah

Chorus:
A              F#m
I don't have a machine heart
       E
Can't tell it to stop
           D
No button to push to start
F#m
You'll see it break
           E
You'll see it fall apart
      D                                A
Cause I don't have, I don't have a machine heart
F#m       E        D
No, a machine heart

I kept it quiet
But now you’ll hear it scream
'Cause good or bad or right or wrong
It's finally found its beat
And it ain’t calculated
It ain’t by the rules
And you can hate it, baby
But it’s gonna do what it’s gonna do, yeah

Chorus:
I don’t have a machine heart
Can’t tell it to stop
No button to push to start
You’ll see it break
You’ll see it fall apart
'Cause I don’t have, I don’t have a machine heart
(A machine heart)
A machine heart (A machine heart)
A machine heart (A machine heart)
A machine heart (A machine heart)

        A
I won't always get it right
    F#m
But hey ain't that just life
          E                        D
At least you're getting something real
        A
I won't always get it right
But hey ain't that just life?
E                           D
I wanna find what it wanna feel

Chorus:
And 'cause I don’t have a machine heart
Can’t tell it to stop
No button to push to start
You’ll see it break
You’ll see it fall apart
'Cause I don’t have, no I don’t have a machine heart
(A machine heart)
A machine heart (A machine heart)

I pushed and pulled it
I let you do it, too
I let you do it, too
I pushed and pulled it
I let you do it, too
I let you do it, too

But I don’t have a machine heart
No I don’t have a machine heart
