Drum lead in
Main Riff
acoustic enters 2nd time

Verse1
Am           C6          Dm          Dm6

His keeping busy, yeah he's bleeding stones,
With his machinations and his palindromes
It was anything but hear the voice
Anything but hear the voice
It was anything but hear the voice That says that we’re all basically
alone

Verse2
Am           C6          Dm          Dm6

Poor Professor Pynchon had only good intentions
When he put his Bunsen burners all away
And turned into a playground a petri dish of single cells
That would swing their fists at anything that looks like easy prey
On this nature show that rages every day
it was bound, A part his intuition

E / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /  / / / / / / /
To say                we were all basically alone

Chorus

Am          C6            Dm           Dm6

And despite what all his studies had shown
What was mistaken for closeness was just a case for mitosis
Why do some show no mercy
While others are painfully shy?
And tell me doctor can quantify
‘Cause he just wants to know the reason, the reason

E / / / / / / / / / / /
why

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
