A               Em
One humanoid escapee
D                   C
One android on the run
A                 Em              D       C
Seeking freedom beneath a lonely desert sun
A                     Em
Trying to change its program
            D               C
Trying to change the mode crack the code
A           Em           D        C
Images conflicting into data overload

Chorus:
Dm    E7    F
1 0 0 1 0 0 1 SOS
Dm    E7    F
1 0 0 1 0 0 1 In distress
Dm    E7    A
1 0 0 1 0 0

Memory banks unloading
Bytes breaking to bits
Unit One's in trouble and
it's scared out of its wits
Guidance systems break down
A struggle to exist
To resist
A pulse of dying power in
a clenching plastic fist

Chorus

A
It replays each of the days
C          D               E
A hundred years of routines
A                   C
Bows its head and prays
                 D           C
To the mother of all machines all machines

Chorus:
Dm    E7    F
1 0 0 1 0 0 1 SOS
Dm    E7    F
1 0 0 1 0 0 1 In distress
Dm    E7    A Am A Am D E
1 0 0 1 0 0

It replays each of the days
A hundred years of routines
Bows its head and prays
To the mother of all machines
