These chords are written for ukulele :)
A E
Life inside the music box ain't easy
A
The mallets hit, the gears are always turnin'
F A E A
And everyone inside the mechanism is yearning to get out
A E
And sing another melody completely
A
So different than the ones they're always singin'
F A
I close my eyes and think that I have found me,
F A
but then I feel mortality surround me
E A
I want to sing another melody
F E A
So different than the one I always sing
(But when I do the dishes...)

E
I put the water very, very, very hot
A
And then I fill the sink to the top with bubbles of soap
E
And then I set all the bottle caps I own afloat
A E A
And it's the greatest voyage in the history of plastic!
(And..then..I...)
E
Slip my hands in and start to make waves
A
And then I dip my tongue in and take a taste
E
It tastes like soap, but it doesn't really taste like soap
A
And then I lower in my whole mouth and take a gulp!
(And..start..to...)
A E A
Feel mortality surround me; I close my eyes and think that I have found me
F A
But life inside the music box ain't easy
F A
The mallets hit, the gears are always turnin'
E A F A
And everyone inside the mechanism is yearning to get out
E A F A
And sing another melody completely, is yearning to get out
F A
Is yearning to get out
F A
Is yearning to get out...
