[Intro]  Dm   Bb   A(x2)
DmAnd so around 3 AM,
A recently deceased man
BbFound himself wound in the land of lAiving again
DmBound in a body,
Of gears and wheels but oddly
BbHe has no voice and his steel joints baArely can bend
The Dmone sound he makes in fact
He streams radio broadcasts
He pBblays a country station if you gAive him a pat
Our dDmearest Annabel is
Quite thrilled and ecstatic
She Bbhas a friend who just was dead and yAet she brought back
[Interlude]  G   D   Em  D  
           C G Bb C
GWhat may plDease does not content 
EmAll resolveDs but never ends
CAll that coGmforts is not true
BbAll you love does not love you
DI have a doClly and we lDike to go on waClks
We like to sDtroll around the pCark all while he liGstens to me talk
About the pDeople and the plCaces that I neDver got to sCee
‘Cause I wDouldn't leave my hCouse, but that's befGore he was with me
GWe share a wAorld, which is woGnderful to sAee it's like a drGeam
where no one calAls me failure iCf I don't succeed
DI have a doClly it's like flDowers in the sprCing
And but no mDatter how I tCalk to him he nGever says a thing
GWhat may plDease does not content 
EmAll resolveDs but never ends
CAll that coGmforts is not true
BbAll you love does not love you
DI have a dColly and he gDoes with me outCside
which used to Dbe a problem fCor me, oh but nGow I never mind
DIce cream and caCrriages I alDways thought were nCice
But never Dhad someone to shCare them with beGcause the lab's my life
GAnnabelle no friAends you must be brGilliant and the bAest
You must be beGtter and inAdustrious, or yAou are worthless
But nDow I have doClly a dear frDiend with whom I Cgo
Out for waDlks and talks but Che's mute and just plGays the radio
ElysiDumA  
The pEmlace the when your sF#morrows end
GWhy’d you bDring me here agAain
DI have a doClly who can keDep me compCany
We go to sDhows, parades and caCbarets though peGople stare at me
But I've sDhown that I am briClliant and I've coDnquered life and dCeath
The only thDing my father sCaid is that one mGust be a success
GAnd now I've gAot a friend, a siGlent clockwork dAouble
Who can Gbe there for me tAo lean on when AI feel sad and troubled
DI have a doClly, and he's veDry stablCing, 
If not a liDttle just too disCtant, cause he nGever says a thing
GWhat you hDold may wish to go
EmWhat you beliDeve may not be so
CAll that brGings you piece of mind
BbMay not stay for a long time
GWhat may plDease does not content 
EmAll resolveDs but never ends
CAll that coGmforts is not true
BbAll you love does not love you
CCan’t you speak to mFe?
CWon’t you speak to mFe?
CAll the things we could shAmare and conceive
If yFou’d just speak to me
ElysiDumA  
The pEmlace the when your sF#morrows end
GWhy’d you bDring me here
GOh why'd you bDring me here
GWhy'd you brDing me here agAain?

F#m

Dm Bb A

[Intro] (x2)

And so around 3 AM,

A recently deceased man

Bb A

Found himself wound in the land of living again

Bound in a body,

Of gears and wheels but oddly

Bb A

He has no voice and his steel joints barely can bend

The one sound he makes in fact

He streams radio broadcasts

Bb A

He plays a country station if you give him a pat

Our dearest Annabel is

Quite thrilled and ecstatic

Bb A

She has a friend who just was dead and yet she brought back

G D Em D

[Interlude]

C G Bb C

G D

What may please does not content

Em D

All resolves but never ends

C G

All that comforts is not true

All you love does not love you

D C D C

I have a dolly and we like to go on walks

D C G

We like to stroll around the park all while he listens to me talk

D C D C

About the people and the places that I never got to see

D C G

‘Cause I wouldn't leave my house, but that's before he was with me

G A G A G

We share a world, which is wonderful to see it's like a dream

A C

where no one calls me failure if I don't succeed

D C D C

I have a dolly it's like flowers in the spring

D C G

And but no matter how I talk to him he never says a thing

G D

What may please does not content

Em D

All resolves but never ends

C G

All that comforts is not true

All you love does not love you

D C D C

I have a dolly and he goes with me outside

D C G

which used to be a problem for me, oh but now I never mind

D C D C

Ice cream and carriages I always thought were nice

D C G

But never had someone to share them with because the lab's my life

G A G A

Annabelle no friends you must be brilliant and the best

G A A

You must be better and industrious, or you are worthless

D C D C

But now I have dolly a dear friend with whom I go

D C G

Out for walks and talks but he's mute and just plays the radio

D A

Elysium

Em F#m

The place the when your sorrows end

G D A

Why’d you bring me here again

D C D C

I have a dolly who can keep me company

D C G

We go to shows, parades and cabarets though people stare at me

D C D C

But I've shown that I am brilliant and I've conquered life and death

D C G

The only thing my father said is that one must be a success

G A G A

And now I've got a friend, a silent clockwork double

G A A

Who can be there for me to lean on when I feel sad and troubled

D C D C

I have a dolly, and he's very stabling,

D C G

If not a little just too distant, cause he never says a thing

G D

What you hold may wish to go

Em D

What you believe may not be so

C G

All that brings you piece of mind

May not stay for a long time

G D

What may please does not content

Em D

All resolves but never ends

C G

All that comforts is not true

All you love does not love you

C F

Can’t you speak to me?

C F

Won’t you speak to me?

C Am

All the things we could share and conceive

If you’d just speak to me

D A

Elysium

Em F#m

The place the when your sorrows end

G D

Why’d you bring me here

G D

Oh why'd you bring me here

G D A

Why'd you bring me here again?
