       F          C              G            Am
Oh, if I was the moon, I would break all the rules
I would sail away into the dark
Not a ghost of a chance that I'd be coming back

Would I envy the sea?
Keeping secrets beneath
No one likes to be caught unaware
There's a plan in the deep
Take the ground from our feet

I don't need DNA
For a radioactive display
Am I lost in the day?

Chorus:
G             Am
(You always remind me)
F           C            G    Am
A skeleton can't bruise (oh, oh)
No blood for me to lose (oh, oh)
Where is the life I knew? (oh, oh)
Wish that I could be human
Wish that I could be human

I'm the face in the clock
Nothing comes as a shock
Inner workings are hidden away
Keep on serving my time till the hour arrives

I don't need DNA
For a radioactive display
Am I lost in the day?

Chorus:
(You always remind me)
A skeleton can't bruise (oh, oh)
No blood for me to lose (oh, oh)
Where is the life I knew? (oh, oh)
Wish that I could be human

F                        G
Starting to feel like a robot
F                   C    G
Living without an identity
F                         G
I wonder if I'll have permission?
F                   Am       G
I wonder if I am allowed to be?

Chorus:
A skeleton can't bruise
No blood for me to lose
Where is the life I knew?
Wish that I could be human
(You always remind me)
A skeleton can't bruise (oh, oh)
No blood for me to lose (oh, oh)
Where is the life I knew? (oh, oh)
Wish that I could be human

Wish that I could be human
Wish that I could be human
Wish that I could be human
(Human)
(Human)
