And tell me doctor can quantify ‘Cause he just wants to know the reason, the reason E / / / / / / / / / / / why Break Solo N/C Why do they Am C6 Dm Dm6 congregate in groups of four Scatter like a billion spores And let the wind just carry them away? How can kids be so mean Our famous doctor tried to gleam As he went home at the end of the day In this Nature show that rages every day It was bound apart his intuition, E / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / Say We were all basically all alone Am C6 Dm Dm6 Despite what all his studies had shown What was mistaken for closeness was just a case for mitosis She fatal doses, malcontent to osmosis Why do some show no mercy While others are painfully shy? Well tell me doctor can you quantify The reason E / / / / / / / / / / / / / why Break Outro: same pattern www.TAB6.com
