Introduction:
C G Am F
I knew a man that I will never forget
C G Am F
But nobody ever remembers the pet
C G Am F
He took me from the year 5000 on a lonely asteroid
C G Am F
He said he was looking for a droid
C G Am F
He was my master, his attention I did crave
C G Am F
To him, I was nothing more than a slave
C G Am F
We saved creatures all across the galaxy
C G Am F
But nobody ever thought to save me
Am F C G
And I wonder what life would be like if
Am F C G
I could choose not to say affirmitive
Am F C G
People tell me what to do and I just roll along
Am F C G
But inside my metal head I'm singing my song
C G Am F
Treacherous compliance, what have you done to me?
C G Am F
I'm a fraction of the shadow of the canine I could be
C G Am F
I see other dogs in the park fetching sticks and digging bones
C G Am F
Never has a tin dog ever felt so alone
C G Am F
Oh no
C G Am F
He gave me to Sarah Jane as a gift
C G Am F
but I wasn't consulted, I was a little miffed
C G Am F
Is this what I'm reduced to, a casual memento?
C G Am F
I've seen all of creation, but to it I'm incidental
C G Am F
But there's more to this automaton than they will ever know
C G Am F
I'm more than just alloys and circuits, I have soul
C G Am F
And I've got dreams just like everybody else
C G Am F
I could conquer the world if I could conquer myself
Am F C G
And I wonder what life would be like if
Am F C G
I could choose not to say affirmitive
Am F C G
People tell me what to do and I just roll along
Am F C G
But inside my metal head I'm singing my song
C G Am F
Treacherous compliance, what have you done to me?
C G Am F
I'm a fraction of the shadow of the canine I could be
C G Am F
I see other dogs in the park, They're fetching sticks and digging bones
C G Am F
Never has a tin dog ever felt so alone
C G Am F
Oh no
