VERSE I

Am C/G Fmaj7 E
He's keeping busy, yeah, he's bleeding stones
Am C/G Fmaj7 E
With his machinations and his palindromes
Am C/G Fmaj7 E
It was anything but hear the voice
Am C/G Fmaj7 E
Anything but hear the voice
Am C/G
It was anything but hear the voice
Fmaj7 E Am C/G Fmaj7 E
That says that we're all basically alone

Am C/G Fmaj7 E


VERSE II

Am C/G Fmaj7 E
Poor Professor Pynchon had only good intentions
Am C/G Fmaj7 E
When he put his Bunsen burners all away
Am C/G Fmaj7
And turning to a playground in a Petri dish
E Am
Where single cells would swing their fists
C/G Fmaj7 E
At anything that looks like easy prey
Am C/G Fmaj7 E
In this nature show that rages every day
Am C/G Fmaj7 E (strum louder)
It was then he heard his intuition say
Am
We were all basically alone


CHORUS
C/G Fmaj E
And despite what all his studies had shown
Am C/G Fmaj7 E
That what's mistaken for closeness is just a case for mitosis
Am C/G Fmaj7 E Am C/G Fmaj7 E
And why---- do some show no mercy while others are painfully shy?
Am C/G Fmaj7 E
Tell me doctor can you quantify?
Am C/G Fmaj7 E (strum louder)
He just wants to know the reason, the reason why

Am C/G Fmaj7 E


VERSE III

Am C/G
Why do they congregate in groups of four

Fmaj7 E Am
Scatter like a billion spores
C/G Fmaj7 E
And let the wind just carry them away?
Am C/G Fmaj7
How can kids be so mean?
E Am
Our famous doctor tried to glean
C/G Fmaj7 E
As he went home at the end of the day
Am C/G Fmaj7 E
In this nature show that rages every day
Am C/G Fmaj7 E (strum louder)
It was then he heard his intuition say
Am
We were all basically alone


CHORUS

C/G Fmaj7 E
Despite what all his studies had shown
Am C/G Fmaj7 E
That what's mistaken for closeness is just a case of mitosis
Am C/G Fmaj7 E
Sure fatal doses of malcontent through osmosis
Am C/G Fmaj7 E Am C/G Fmaj7 E
And why---- do some show no mercy while others are painfully shy?
Am C/G Fmaj7
Well, tell me doctor, can you quantify?
E (strum louder)
The reason why

Am C/G Fmaj7 E ... end on Am
