[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

Eb Am7-5/Eb
At night when all the world's asleep
Abmaj7
The questions run so 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
Db Dbmaj7/C Bbm7 Bbm7/Ab
