Verse 1:

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

Pre-chorus:

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

Chorus:

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

Verse 2:

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

Pre-chorus:

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

Chorus:

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
