Biography:
The Automatic were a rock band which formed in 2005 in Cowbridge, Wales, United Kingdom. The group is also known as The Automatic Automatic in the U.S. and Canada after the band were faced with legal action from another act under the name of Automatic, although a large majority of fans in those countries commonly refer to the band by their actual name. The three remaining original members James Frost, Robin Hawkins, and Iwan Griffiths are from Wales; new addition Paul Mullen (originally of Yourcodenameis:milo) is from Sunderland.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Sweet Tune, Heard the acoustic version on radio so i thought i'd share it with you guys!
is my own version of the acoustic one i've tried to make as accurate as possible.
To play it exactly like the real version i'd play it half a step down on capo 1, but it
works if you wana leave it standard without a capo.

Verse 1
E5 D5
Can't put my finger on what's changed
E5 D5
To my surprise I found everything the same
C5 D5
In a house that's not quite home
E5
Nothing was missing but something had gone
E5 D5
I hadn't seen my reflection in a while
E5 D5
I tried to (?) direction for miles
C5 D5
So I took a walk through town
E5
To see if someone moved the streets around

E5 D5
The engine was running but I couldn't get away
E5 D5

C5 D5
All my visions have been erased
E5
Just an extra with nothing to say
E5 D5
I wrote myself into a new storyline
E5 D5
This part was different this time it was mine
C5 D5
Now I'm lost in my own town
E5
It seems like someone moved the streets around
