Intro:
Cm Cm Cm Cm
Cm Abmaj7 Gm7
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
Bb Fm7 F7
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
Cm
And all the birds in the trees,
Abmaj7 Gm7
well they'd be singing so happily,
Bb Fm7 Cm6
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
Cm Abmaj7 Gm7
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Bb Fm7 F7
Logical, responsible, practical.
Cm Abmaj7 Gm7
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Bb Fm7 Cm6
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.
Chorus :
Eb Cm6
There are times when all the world's asleep,
Abmaj7
The questions run too deep
Db Dbmaj7 Bbm Bbm7
For such a simple man.
Eb Cm6
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
Abmaj7
I know it sounds absurd
Db Dbmaj7 Bbm Bbm7
But please tell me who I am.
Cm Abmaj7 Gm7
Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
Bb Fm7 F7
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Cm Abmaj7 Gm7
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're acceptable
Bb Fm7 F7
Respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

Chorus :

At night, when all the world's asleep,
Abmaj7
The questions run so deep

For such a simple man.
Eb Cm6
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
Abmaj7
I know it sounds absurd
Db Dbmaj7 Bbm Bbm7
But please tell me who I am.
Db Dbmaj7 Bbm Bbm7
Who I am.
Db Dbmaj7 Bbm Bbm7
Who I am.
Db Dbmaj7 Bbm Bbm7
Who I am.
