Extraordinary Machine, by Fiona Apple. Off the album "Extraordinary Machine."
C
I certainly haven't been shopping for any new shoes
C7
and
CBb
I certainly haven't been spreading myself around.
CD
I still only travel by foot and by foot it's a slow climb,
FAmGC
But I'm good at being uncomfortable so I can't stop changing all the time.
C
I notice that my opponent is always on the go
C7

CBb
Won't go slow, so as not to focus and I notice
CD

FAm
But he's no good at being uncomfortable so he can't stop staying
GC
exactly the same.
(CHORUS)
DmAm
If there was a better way to go then it would find me.
FAm
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me.
DmF
Be kind to me, or treat me mean.
DmGC
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine.

CD

FAmGC
I've been getting a long for long before you came into the play.
CC7

CD
Curious, you're looking down your nose at me while you appease,
FGC
Courteous to try and help but let me set my mind at ease.
(CHORUS)
DmAm
If there was a better way to go then it would find me.
FAm
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me.
DmF
Be kind to me, or treat me mean.
DmGC
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine.
(BRIDGE)
DmC
Do I so worry you, you need to hurry to my side?
G
It's very kind.
DmG
But it's to no avail, and I don't want the bail.
FDmAmC
I promise you, everything will be just fine.
(CHORUS)
DmAm
If there was a better way to go then it would find me.
FAm
I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me.
DmF
Be kind to me, or treat me mean.
DmGC
I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine.
