Supertramp - The Logical Song
[Verse]
Dm Bb Am7
When I was young, it seemed that llfe was so wonderful,
C Bb
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
Dm Bb Am
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
C Bb
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully, watching me.
Dm Bb Am7
But then they sent me away, to teach me how to be sensible,
C Bb
logical, oh, responsible practical.
Dm Bb Am
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
C Bb
oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical.
[Chorus]
F Dm
There are times when all the world's asleep,
Dm Bb Eb
the questions run too deep for such a simple man
F Dm
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
Dm Bb Eb
I know it sounds absurd. Please tell me who I am.
[Verse]
Dm Bb Am7
Watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
C Bb
a liberal, oh fanatical, criminal.
Dm Bb Am
Oh, won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable,
C Bb
respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable!
[Chorus]
F Dm
There are times, when all the world's asleep,
Bb Eb
the questions run too deep for such a simple man
F Dm
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned?
Bb Eb
I know it sounds absurd. Please tell me who I am.
