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

Well, they'd be singing so happily,
(G) A G E
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me
[Verse 2]

But then they sent me away, to teach me how to be sensible,
(G) A G E
Logical, oh, re - sponsible, practical,
Bm G F#m
And then they showed me a world where I could be so de pendable,
(G) A G E
Oh, clinical, oh, intel - lectual, cynical
[Chorus]

There are times when all the world's a - sleep
