E-3----------------------------|
When  they say  you can’t love, I  think they’ve got it wrong
 They say  you can’t feel, with a heart  made of steel
 But you can’t  say that steel ain’t strong
 Well if that’s  who you are, just a meaningless  star in the sky
 Tell me what  is the meaning of what  I am feeling if you  are the reason why?
 Now I may  be dumb
 But where I come from
 Folks say they’re fine  when I know that they’re blue
 But you don’t know you
 The way  I do
Your  kind is frail  and weak, and I want  to destroy you all
 You’re a sorry  disgrace, to the concept  of race
 And to logical  science and law
 But for some  reason why, when you look  at me I don’t wanna  be
Programmed  this way, believe  when I say
 You’re the one  anomaly
 You might  not be smart
But  there is a part of me
 That’s starting  to make a break  through
 No, you don’t know  you
 The way  I do
 (My wires are protected from abnormal  things like you)
 I never expected to find someone like you
 (When you  know everything, it is suddenly strange when you don’t  have a clue)
  I don’t know anything, but you’re giving me a clue
I  can see past,  the, surface
Finding  the worth that is hiding  beneath
Your  life and purpose
&  all of a sudden I feel  like I’ve run into something  that no one has seen
 Intro riff again or these chords: C G Am7 G
You’re perfect  and wonderful
How  I hoped you’d be
  (February, I
 )
 But it’s really  enough
 For you  to be just a human  being
  (There’s something I need to tell you…)
 And I know  you’ll agree
That’s  all we need to make all  our dreams come true
  (Your dreams come true, but I need to share something with you…)
 If this life  has ending, I’m glad  that I’m spending this short  little time
 with you
 I’m so much more,  than what you've thought  before
  (So much more then what we have got too)
Now  that we have gotten to
 Get to know  you
  (You don’t know you)
 But you don’t know  me
 The way I do…
 End Chords:
 I hope it sounds alright! If you have any suggestions, questions, anything, don't be
 afraid to let me know!

[G]When they [C]say you can’t love, [Am]I think they’ve got it [Em]wrong
They [Fmaj7]say you can’t feel, with a [Dm7]heart made of steel
But you [Gsus4]can’t say that steel ain’t s[G]trong
Well if [C]that’s who you are, just a [Em]meaningless star in the [Am]sky
Tell me [Fmaj7]what is the meaning of [Dm7]what I am feeling if [Gsus4]you are the reason w[G]hy?
Now I [E]may be [Am]dumb

The [Fm]way I [C]do

[Bb]Your kind is [Eb]frail and weak, and I [Cm]want to destroy you [Gm]all
You’re a [Abmaj7]sorry disgrace, to the [Fm7]concept of race
And to [Bbsus]logical science and [Bb]law
But for [Eb]some reason why, when you [Cm]look at me I don’t [Gm]wanna be
[Abmaj7]Programmed this way, [Fm7]believe when I say
You’re the [Bbsus]one anoma[Bb]ly
You [G]might not be [Cm]smart

[Gm]I can see [Cm]past, the, [Gm]surface
[Fm]Finding the worth that is [Abmaj7]hiding benea[Bb]th

[F#m]How I hoped you’d [C#m]be
                    (February, I
)
But it’s [Dmaj7]really enough
For [Bm7]you to be just a [Esus4]human being[E]
                                (There’s something I need to tell you…)
And I [A]know you’ll agree
