[Verse 1]
E A C#m
I remember myself as a boy
F#m C#m
In the yard playing cars
B A
I wore loose-fitting clothes
E A C#m
Still feel that obsolete joy
F#m C#m
When the summer got hotter
B A
And we got out the water hose
B E A
I wore my shirt in the pool back then
F#m C#m B
I was afraid to be seen
[Chorus]
A B C#m
I've been trying to build a machine
E B A
That can convert shame into celebration
A B C#m E A
I'll go back in time and reclaim my name
C#m B E
[Verse 2]
E A C#m
I remember myself as a teen
F#m C#m B
Would just stand near the band with my hands towards
A
the sky
E A C#m
Embarrassed of everything
F#m C#m B A
Lucky for love received from an invisible guy
B E A
Stained by generational sins
F#m C#m B
I did not deserve good things
[Chorus]
A B C#m
I've been trying to build a machine
E B A
That can convert shame into celebration
A B C#m E A
I'll go back in time and reclaim my name
C#m B E
[Bridge]
A C#m
I've been collecting spare parts from old cars that are
E A
long since out of operation
F#m C#m
And scraps of old steel, the frames of used wheels that
E A
feel tired of personification
[Chorus]
A B C#m
I'm trying to build a machine
E B A
That can convert shame into celebration
A
C#m B E
[Verse 3]
E A C#m
I remember when I was still Kyle
F#m C#m B A
The kids called me cow, even now I grind teeth
E A C#m
Grandma said that I looked fat
F#m C#m B A
From her perch on the porch looking side-eyed at me
B E A
I wish I could visit that mem’ry now
F#m C#m B
And give him a set of the keys
[Outro]
A B C#m
To a makeshift and duct taped machine
E B A
That can convert shame into celebration
A B C#m
We could dance to the music it screams
E B A
In a cacophonic orchestration
A B C#m E A
Go back in time and reclaim my name
A B C#m E A
Go back in time and reclaim my name
B E
