K9's Lament

[D] [A] [Bm] [G]

[D]I knew a m[A]an that I will[Bm] never forge[G]t
But nobody ever remembers the pet
He took me from the year 5000 on a lonely asteroid
He said he was looking for a droid
He was my master, his attention I did crave
To him, I was nothing more than a slave
We saved creatures all across the galaxy
But nobody ever thought to save me

Pre Chorus:

And I [Bm]wonder what [G]life would be [D]like i[A]f
I could choose not to say affirmitive
People tell me what to do and I just roll along
But inside my metal head I'm singing my song

[D]Treacherous compliance, [A]what have you done to m[Bm]e?              [G]
I'm a fraction of the shadow of the canine I could be
I see other dogs in the park fetching sticks and digging bones
Never has a tin dog ever felt so alone
Oh no

Same as top

He gave me to Sarah Jane as a gift
but I wasn't consulted, I was a little miffed
Is this what I'm reduced to, a casual memento?
I've seen all of creation, but to it I'm incidental
But there's more to this automaton than they will ever know
I'm more than just alloys and circuits, I have soul
And I've got dreams just like everybody else
I could conquer the world if I could conquer myself
