EI know, I've just gotta get out of this plBace, I can't stand any more of that mechanical grEace
                                            A-         F#-        B-            G#-    E  
Though you say, it's only industrial squeeze, it looks like luxury and feels like a disease
    B-                    E        A                       B     E-        B-
Oh, give it to me, give it to me, I don't want to know much about much
                      E           A     B-    C#m7-    Ddim-   B/D#-    E  B  
Give it to me, give it to me, I need, I need, I need the human touch
ELeft with just a house to hold, drinking your way to dry dBock
It's easy to break up a model citizen, living in the state of shEock
                                                   A-      F#-          B-          G#-        E  
I just can't believe I am responsible for this, what the makeup hides can't be made up with a kiss
    B-                    E        A                       B     E-        B-
Oh, give it to me, give it to me, I don't want to know much about much
                      E           A     B-    C#m7-    Ddim-   B/D#- C#m  
Give it to me, give it to me, I need, I need, I need the human touch
                          G#     F#-         A-        G#-           C-     C#m-  D- C#m  
When I'm talking in tongues I go where you lead, I don't make you plead, ooh,   I need you
EHow I'd like to fix her in a picture of raBge, how I'd like to catch her when she's acting her aEge
                                             A-     F#-       B-      G#-   E-
But when she's lying stretched out on the floor, it's no mystery to me anymore
    B-                    E        A                       B     E-        B-
Oh, give it to me, give it to me, I don't want to know much about much
                      E           A     B-    C#m7-    Ddim-    B/D#-
Give it to me, give it to me, I need, I need, I need the human
      B-    C#m7-    Ddim-   B/D#-       B-    C#m7-    Ddim-   B/D#-      E   B  E  
I need, I need, I need the human,  I need, I need, I need the human touch
