Verse 1
Em 
G 
See, in  (E minor) our story, a lot of people think  (G major) it's that the little Japan
F 
 (F major) ese girl just fights the robot
Em 
and that's kind of the story. we  (E minor) have,
G#m 
part of the story  (G sharp minor) goes
Em 
F 
Em 
that the robot  (E minor) is   (F major) one of these technically ad (E minor) vanced,
you know, futuristic machines
F 
and it falls  (F major) in love with Yoshimi
Em 
and instead of Yoshimi  (E minor) killing the robot,
the robot actually kills himself.
F 
Em 
So the story has  (F major) this strange little  (E minor) twist.
Em 
So I don't want you to feel  (E minor) too good
F 
about her beating the ro (F major) bot
Em 
D 
or the ro (E minor) bot losing because it's all, again, it's  (D major) convoluted,
F 
Em 
I'm sorry.  (F major) Oh,  (E minor) test. Okay.
So we're doing
these a little out of order
as the way that they would work
on the record.
F 
So  (F major) a lot of people think, and rightly so,
G 
Em 
I mean, we built the  (G major) record in such a  (E minor) way
that you could listen to it and think that there's
G 
a story that  (G major) sort of comes out of it.
F# 
We start out  (F sharp major) with this song.
Em 
It's called  (E minor) Fight Test,
and it's about a sort of stance
that someone can take.
F 
Not a  (F major) moral stance,
Em 
 (E minor) but just a human stance
G 
on how you can deal with  (G major) your own reason for
F 
 (F major) fighting and stuff like that.
And then it goes on to the other parts of it.
E 
Bbm 
 (E major) So this song I've  (B flat minor) seen written about,
E 
Em 
 (E major) and correctly so resembles, in some  (E minor) ways,
G 
a Cat  (G major) Stevens song
Em 
called Father and  (E minor) Son.
G# 
Maybe  (G sharp major) some of you guys know that song,
Bbm 
Em 
E 
right?  (B flat minor) And   it's a beauti (E minor) ful, wonderful,  (E major) great, great tune.
Bbm 
And I agree  (B flat minor) that it does,
in some ways,
resemble that song.
F 
E 
 (F major) I  was  (E major) listening to that song
Em 
G 
when  (E minor) I sort of discovered  (G major) the sort of storytelling,
D 
here we are,  (D major) storytelling thing.
Em 
Bbm 
 (E minor) It's a storytelling  (B flat minor) element
of the way the chord progression
goes.
F 
Maybe you could show them  (F major) Steven.
Yeah
