[Verse 1]
Bm Gmaj7 F#m7
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A G E7/G#
A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical,

And all the birds in the trees,
Gmaj7 F#m7
Well, they'd be singing so happily,
A G E7/G#
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully, watching me!
[Verse 2]
Bm Gmaj7 F#m7
But then they sent me away, to teach me how to be sensible,
A G E7/G#
Logical, oh, re - sponsible, practical,
Bm Gmaj7 F#m7
And then they showed me a world where I could be so de - pendable,
A G E7/G#
Oh, clinical, oh, intel - lectual, cynical!
[Verse 3]
D G#m7-5/D
There are times when all the world's a - sleep

Gmaj7/D
I know it sounds ab - surd,

Oh, won't you sign up your name?

We'd like to feel you're ac - ceptable
