BmWhen I was young it seemed that Gmaj7life was so F#m7wonderful
A Amiracle, oh, it was G6beautiful, E7/G#magical,
And all the Bmbirds in the trees,
Well, they'd be Gmaj7singing so F#m7happily,
Oh, Ajoyfully, oh, G6playfully E7/G#watching me
But then they Bmsent me away,
To teach me Gmaj7how to be F#m7sensible,
ALogical, oh, re G6sponsible, E7/G#practical,
And then they Bmshowed me a world
Where I Gmaj7could be so deF#m7pendable,
Oh, Aclinical, oh, intelG6lectual, E7/G#cynical
There are Dtimes when all the world's a G#m7b5/Dsleep
The questions run too Gmaj7/Ddeep
For such a simple Cman-
Em/B Am7 C/G
Won't you Dplease, please tell me what we've G#m7b5/Dlearnt,
I know it sounds abGmaj7/Dsurd, please, tell me who
I Cam-Em/B/ /
Am7 C/G C Em/B Am7 C/G
I said now, Bmwatch what you say,
They'll be Gmaj7calling you a F#m7radical,
A Aliberal, oh, faG6natical, E7/G#criminal,
Oh, won't you Bmsign up your name?
We'd like to Gmaj7feel you're acF#m7ceptable,
ReAspectable, oh, preGsentable,
A E7/G#vegetable! Oh, take it, take it, take it
Yeah!

But at Dnight when all the world's a G#m7b5/Dsleep,
The questions run so Gmaj7/Ddeep
For such a simple Cman-

Won't you Dplease,
(Oh, won't you tell me?)
Please, tell me what we've G#m7b5/Dlearnt?
(Umm, tell me what!) (Can you hear me?)
I know it sounds abGmaj7/Dsurd!,
(I know!) (Oh, won't you help me?)
Please, tell me who I Cam--Em/B,
Am7 C/G
(Tell me who I am!)
Who I Cam-Em/BAm7C/G, who I Cam-Em/B!

Who I Cam-Em/BAm7C/G! Yeah!
