VERSE:

Em                               Cmaj7       Bm7
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
  D                  C          C#dim
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
            Em                                 Cmaj7      Bm7
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
D         C         C#dim
joyfully, playfully watching me.

              Em                       Cmaj7     Bm7
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
D          C          C#dim
logical, responsible, practical.
         Em                              Cmaj7   Bm7 
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
D              C        C#dim
clinical, intellectual, cynical.


CHORUS:

          Gmaj7                       Em
There are times when all the world's asleep,
                      Cmaj7  
the questions run too deep
                  F Am/E Dm7 C
for such a simple man.

          Gmaj7                             Em 
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
                   Cmaj7  
I know it sounds absurd
                         F Am/E Dm7 C
but please tell me who I am.

VERSE II:

    Em                               Cmaj7         Bm7
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
D          C        C#dim
liberal, fanatical, criminal.
          Em                              Cmaj7
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
  Bm7         D             C           C#dim
acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!
