[Intro]
Bm [x2]

[Verse 1]
Bm                                                 G               F#m
When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
(G)  A                             G            E
A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical,
                   Bm
And all the birds in the trees,
                          G            F#m
Well, they'd be singing so happily,
(G)   A                  G             E
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me

[Verse 2]
                       Bm                                      G              F#m
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]
                D                                            G#m
There are times when all the world's a - sleep
                                     G                                   C  Em Am G
The questions run too deep for such a simple man,
                   D                                                 G#m
Won't you please, please, tell me what we've learnt,
                                    G
I know it sounds ab - surd,
                                 C Em Am G
Please, tell me who I am!

C Em Am G

[Verse 3]
                     Bm                                        G                  F#m
I said now, watch what you say, they'll be calling you a radical,
(G) A                       G               E
A liberal, oh, fan - atical, criminal,
                        Bm
Oh, won't you sign up your name?
                     G                     F#m
We'd like to feel you're ac - ceptable
(G)     A                            G                  E
Re - spectable, oh, pre - sentable, a vegetable,
E
Oh, take it, take it,...

[Verse 4 - Sax solo]
...Yeah!
Bm G F#m (G) A G E

Bm G F#m (G) A G E

[Chorus]
E             D                                         G#m
But at night, when all the world's a - sleep,
                                   G                                   C Em Am G
The questions run so deep for such a simple man,
                   D                                                G#m
Won't you please, please, tell me what we've learnt?
(Oh, won't you tell me? Umm, tell me what!)

                                   G
I know it sounds ab - surd,
(Can you hear me? I know!) (Oh, won't you help me?)

                                 C Em Am G            C Em Am G
Please, tell me who I am,             who I am,
(Tell me who I am!)

           C Em Am G            C Em Am G
Who I am,              who I am!              Yeah!
