The Logical Song
Supertramp
[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 sent 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
I said, now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
Bb Fm7/Ab F7/A
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
Oh, take, take, take it, yeah!
[Instrumental bridge]
[Chorus]
