Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 6[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! [Instrumental] Cm Abmaj7 Gm7 Bb Fm7/Ab F7/A Cm Abmaj7 Gm7 Bb Fm7/Ab F7/A [Chorus] 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 Who I am. Db Dbmaj7/C Bbm7 Bbm7/Ab Who I am. Db Dbmaj7/C Bbm7 Bbm7/Ab Who I am. [Outro] C7 C7 C7 Fm C7 C7 C7 Fm Eb Abmaj7
