The Logical Song — Supertramp
Chords and lyrics for The Logical Song by Supertramp (key of G#).
Verse 1
[Cm]When I was young, it seemed that [Abmaj7]life was so [Gm7]wonderful,
A [Bb]miracle, oh it was [Fm7/Ab]beautiful, [F7/A]magical.
And all the [Cm]birds in the trees, well they'd be [Abmaj7]singing so [Gm7]happily,
[Bb]Joyfully, [Fm7/Ab]playfully [Am7b5]watching me.
But then they [Cm]send me away to teach me [Abmaj7]how to be [Gm7]sensible,
[Bb]Logical, [Fm7/Ab]responsible, [F7/A]practical.
And they [Cm]showed me a world where I could [Abmaj7]be so [Gm7]dependable,
[Bb]Clinical, [Fm7/Ab]intellectual, [Am7b5]cynical.
Chorus
There are [Eb]times when all the world's [Am7b5/Eb]asleep,
The questions run too [Abmaj7/Eb]deep
For such a simple [Db][Dbmaj7/C][Bbm7]man.[Bbm7/Ab]
Won't you [Eb]please, please tell me what we've [Am7b5/Eb]learned
I know it sounds [Abmaj7/Eb]absurd
But please tell me who I [Db][Dbmaj7/C]am.[Bbm7/Ab][Bbm7]
Verse 2
Now [Cm]watch what you say or they'll be [Abmaj7]calling you a [Gm7]radical,
[Bb]Liberal, [Fm7/Ab]fanatical, [F7/A]criminal.
Won't you [Cm]sign up your name, we'd like to [Abmaj7]feel you're [Gm7]acceptable
[Bb]Respectable,[Fm7/Ab] presentable, a [F7/A]vegetable!

At [Eb]night, when all the [Am7b5/Eb]world's asleep,

Won't you [Eb]please, please tell me what we've [Am7b5/Eb]learned
