Chords
[Verse 1]
Cm Abmaj7 Gm7
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
Bb Fm7/Ab F7/A
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
Cm Abmaj7 Gm7
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
Bb Fm7/Ab Am7-5
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
Cm Abmaj7 Gm7
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Bb Fm7/Ab F7/A
Logical, responsible, practical.
Cm Abmaj7 Gm7
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Bb Fm7/Ab Am7-5
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.
[Chorus]
Eb Am7-5/Eb
There are times when all the world's asleep,
Abmaj7
The questions run too deep
Db Dbmaj7/C Bbm7 Bbm7/Ab
For such a simple man.
Eb Am7-5/Eb
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
Abmaj7
I know it sounds absurd
Db Dbmaj7/C Bbm7 Bbm7/Ab
But please tell me who I am.
[Verse 2]
Cm Abmaj7 Gm7
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
Bb Fm7/Ab F7/A
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Cm Abmaj7 Gm7
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable
Bb Fm7/Ab F7/A
Respectable, presentable, a vegetable!
