Cm Cm Abmaj7 Abmaj7 Gm7 Gm7
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
Bb Bb Fm7/Ab Fm7/Ab F7/A F7/A
A A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
Cm Cm Abmaj7 Abmaj7 Gm7 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 Cm Abmaj7 Abmaj7 Gm7 Gm7
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Bb Bb Fm7/Ab Fm7/Ab F7/A F7/A
Logical, responsible, practical.
Cm Cm Abmaj7 Abmaj7 Gm7 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 Abmaj7
The questions run too deep
Db Db Dbmaj7/C Dbmaj7/C Bbm7 Bbm7 Bbm7/Ab Bbm7/Ab
For such a simple man.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
Bb Bb Fm7/Ab Fm7/Ab F7/A F7/A
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Cm Cm Abmaj7 Abmaj7 Gm7 Gm7
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable
Bb Bb Fm7/Ab Fm7/Ab F7/A F7/A
Respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

Among the contemporary sound effects in this song are the 'tackled' sound from a Mattel digital football game Read more on Last.fm.
