The Logical Song

[Verse 1]

  Am                              F           Em7

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful

   G                   F          F#dim

A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical

             Am                                  F          Em7

And all the birds in the trees, well, they'd be singing so happily

     G              F         F#dim

Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully, watching me

 

[Verse 2]

               Am                        F         Em7

But then they sent me away, to teach me how to be sensible

 G               F          F#dim

Logical, oh, responsible, practical

                Am                            F        Em7

And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable

      G                F        F#dim

Oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical

 

[Bridge]

           C                            C6

There are times when all the world's asleep

                       F                      Bb Bb/A Bb/G Bb/F

The questions run too deep for such a simple man

            C                                C6

Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned

                    F                             Bb Bb/A Bb/G Bb/F

I know it sounds absurd, but please tell me who I am
