Cm                                G#           G 
When I was young, it seemed that lilfe was so wonderful, 
   Bb                 G#          A? 
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical. 
             Cm                                   G#         G 
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily, 
     Bb              G#          A? 
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully, watching me. 
             Cm                         G#           G 
But then they sent me away, to teach me how to be sensible, 
Bb              G#         A? 
logical, oh, responsible practical. 
           Cm                           G#          G 
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable, 
    Bb              G#            A? 
oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical. 
          Eb                           Eb6 
There are times when all the world's asleep, 
                       G#                   C#  Fm  Bbm  Fm 
the questions run too deep for such a simple man 
           Eb                                 Eb6 
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned? 
                  G#                        C#  Fm  Bbm  Fm 
I know it sounds absurd. Please tell me who I am. 
C#  Fm  Bbm  Fm 

            Cm                                 G#              G 
I said, now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical, 
   Bb           G#       A? 
a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal. 
              Cm                             G#              G 
Oh, won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable, 
   Bb                 G#            A? 
respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable!

At night, when all the world's asleep, 
                      G#                     C#  Fm  Bbm  Fm 
the questions run too deep for such a simple man 
            Eb                         Eb6 
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned? 
                   G#                        C#  Fm  Bbm  Fm 
I know it sounds absurd. Please tell me who I am.
