Intro - Riff


Verse 1:
A (p.m.)
We start the story when Mom met Dad 
A (p.m.)                                      G
And they danced all night and he took her home 
A (p.m.)
It might have been all the wine they had 
A (p.m.)                                    
But they rolled the dice and won your genome 

Pre-Chorus 1:
         G            D            A            Bm
Then you grew and you grew and one day you were you
        G                D          A Asus4 A
And you looked like your father and mother 
               G      D	         A	    Bm
If you're looking for someone convenient to blame 
        G		               A
You can take your pick it's one or the other 

Chorus:
  A  G	          D
DNA, you're in my heart 
  A                 G	     D	     A
DNA, in fact you're in every part of my body 
          G		             A
Each cell has a nucleus, each nucleus has chromosomes 
    Intro                      Riff
And DNA, baby, that spells DNA 

Verse 2:

A (p.m.)
Guanine met Cytosine, fell in love 
A (p.m.)                             G
And then Thymine got busy with Adenine
A (p.m.)
They sent the messenger-RNA 
A (p.m.)			      A
To the ribosome to make more protein 

Pre-Chorus 2:
               G           D            A              Bm
And while it's killing you dead it will mess with your head 
             G            D              A        Asus4 A
And it's the light in the dark that will guide you 
         G	   D	         A	 Bm
It's the pages and pages of what you are like 
       G	                   A
In the giant book that's hidden inside you 

Chorus:
  A  G	          D
DNA, you're in my heart 
  A                 G	     D	     A
DNA, in fact you're in every part of my body 
          G		             A
Each cell has a nucleus, each nucleus has chromosomes 
    Intro                      Riff
And DNA, baby, that spells DNA 

Bridge:
           G       A7
If it says TGGTCGAAC 
                       Dadd4/A A7
Then you might get the cancer 
           G    Em   A7  
If it says GTCACGACAGG 
                       Dadd4/A   A
Then you shouldn't eat shrimp or nuts 
           G   Em  C9  Bb  A7
If it says TATACACATATCCTCGT 
                                          D
Then you'll probably wish that you didn't know 

(Guitar Solo!)

Verse 3:
A (p.m.)
The time will come when you're almost gone 
A (p.m.)                                  G 
And you try to guess but you'll never know 
A (p.m.)
You do your best and you soldier on 
A (p.m.)
Every day you're here till it's time to go 

Pre-Chorus 3:
        G               D	     A	         Bm
All the good things and bad that you do or don't have 
        G	     D               A Asus4 A
You can find out for sure if you got em 
              G         D	       A              Bm
But there's a spiraling staircase that you're falling down 
           G                       A
And you're nothing but dead at the bottom 


Chorus:
  A  G	          D
DNA, you're in my heart 
  A                 G	     D	     A
DNA, in fact you're in every part of my body 
          G		             A
Each cell has a nucleus, each nucleus has chromosomes 
    Intro                      Riff
And DNA, baby, that spells DNA
