    E               C#m          A  B
Sometimes I kind of miss the old XJ-9
            E            C#m  A B
    that we used to call Jane
E              C#m             A         B
Really good at cleaning and we got along fine
         E           C#m  A B
    so I couldn’t complain
C#m                               Ab
Lately she’d been getting tangled up in the shag rug
    E                               F#
And finally one wheel just wouldn’t spin
      F#m                     D7
So we said our goodbyes and I traded her in

     E                 C#m              A         B
This new one’s kind of creepy, makes me shudder inside
             E     C#m A B
    with his idiot grin
     E                C#m              A          B
He’s head to toe with muscles and they ripple and slide
          E           C#m A B
    under translucent skin
    C#m                                 Ab
Sometimes he’ll stand for hours looking into the mirror
    E                            F#
And flexing like some guy at the gym
        F#m               D7
And I’m easily ten inches shorter than him

E        F#m Abm C#
Todd the T  1000 scares me
  F#m            F#m(maj7)        F#m7       B
I don’t think he knows I’ve got a right to exist
       E          F#m      Abm       C#
And he sits in my favorite chair and dares me
    F#m         F#m(maj7)  F#m7     B
And when I look over he is making a fist
    A      B    A    B A/C# B/Eb E (2 fr.)
One finger at a time

  E                C#m           A          B
I ask him if he’ll vacuum and he doesn’t respond,
          E            C#m  A B
    but I know that he heard
  E                  C#m             A               B
I turn and catch him looking when he thinks that I’m gone
           E            C#m A B
    and he flips me the bird
  C#m                                    Ab
I asked him when we started, please stay out of the bedroom
    E                         F#
But I don’t think I’m safe anywhere
       F#m                    D7
When I wake in the dark I can tell that he’s there

E        F#m Abm C#
Todd the T  1000 scares me
  F#m            F#m(maj7)        F#m7       B
I don’t think he knows I’ve got a right to exist
       E          F#m      Abm       C#
And he sits in my favorite chair and dares me
    F#m         F#m(maj7)  F#m7     B
And when I look over he is making a fist
    A      B    A    B
One finger at a time

     A           B                A/C#        B/D#
So I live like a ghost while he’s living like me
A        B        A/C# B/D#
It’s not my house any  more
      A             B               C#m       B/D#
And I sneak out the door while he’s watching TV
A         B      A/C#   B/D#
Head down to the cyborg store
Abm7       C#         Abm7           C#
I get some new arms installed at the store
Abm7    C#      Abm7   C#
Buy the biggest ones I can
A            B              A/C#        B/D#
Head back to my house, Todd answers the door
A       B         A/C#   B/D#
He sees more than just a man

   E              C#m              A          B
My right arm is a smasher like the trunk of a tree
            E            C#m A B
    and the left one’s a saw
  E                C#m        A          B
I cut the couch in half and I smash the TV
            E          C#m A B
    with my big smashy claw
     C#m                                Ab
He’s standing still and silent, I can’t tell what he’s thinking
   E                           F#
He blinks a single glowing red eye
     F#m                       D7
So I give him a shove and then Todd starts to cry

E        F#m Abm C#
Todd the T1000 scares me
    F#m        F#m(maj7)        F#m7       B
But I think he knows I’ve got a right to exist
       E          F#m      Abm       C#
And he sits in my favorite chair and dares me
    F#m           F#m(maj7) F#m7     B
But when he looks over I am making a fist
    A      B    A    B A/C# B/Eb E (2 fr.)
One finger at a time
