Not a Robot, but a Ghost Lyrics

"Not a Robot, But a Ghost"
by Andrew Bird
Album- Noble Beast (2009)
This song has a lot of tricky timing, a key change or two, strange section lengths, etc...
so listen closely to the song to hear all of that, because I've only given you the basics here.
Additionally, some parts are based more on the movement of different complex instrumental and
melodic lines than simple chords, so a few chord sections here are simply loose representations.
Feel free to correct them if you find a better fit.

I run the numbers through the floor
Here's how it goes, I crack the codes, I crack the codes that end the war
(Fig. 1)
I crack the codes that end the war
(Fig. 2)
The hour
The hour
The hour
The hour
VERSE 2- Fig.1 and Fig.2 throughout
I pushed a note under your door
Here's how it goes, things come to blows, but we don't want this anymore
No we don't want this anymore
We don't want this anymore
I crack the codes you end the war
I hear the clockwork in your core
Time strips the gears till you forget what they were for
I push the numbers through your pores
I crack the codes I crack the codes that end the war
How's my living
You can call
Encrypted numbers on
Bathroom stalls, there's
Something burning, it
Casts a pall, it's
Melting numbers right
Off the wall
INTERLUDE- Bm F#
I run the numbers through the floor
Here's how it goes, I crack the codes, I crack the codes, you end
The war
OUTRO- Repeat and fade
The hour, the hour, the hour, the hour,
The hour, the hour, the hour, the hour...
