Chemistry

[C]my heart is on my sleeve my head is in the sand
[F]i said how did we end up here? you said happenstance
[C]but i didn't understand so i made other plans
[F]i ran to the ocean washed the blood off of my hands
[C]i washed away my tears washed away ten years
[F]washed away the empty space in-between my ears
[C]and you said all that i mean is that you and me
[F]didn't meet because of fate but rather probability
[C]and you said the truth's like corn and lies are like weeds
[F]you said the schroedinger equation collapsed perfectly
[C]and i said mercy me be patient please
[F]'cause i don't know a goddam thing about the birds and the bees
[C]i just know what i'm like and i'm like what i see
[F]even though it's hard to see because you just blinded me
[C]and if there's one thing i learned in chemistry
[F]it's that the gain of electrons is reduction, obviously
[C]but you can't see electrons without machines
[F]and you can't tell from my inflection if i'm being mean
[C]and i don't know if i can take you seriously
[F]sometimes elections depend on the absentees

[G]and my family and my[F] friends
and all the little kids that love me make me[C] strong
[G]and no matter how this ends
[F]i know i'll never ever ever be [C]alone

[G]some day i'll [F]be an [C]old lady
[G]with a big dress and a[F]n apron
a b[C]abushka and bare feet
[G]i'll be out in my [F]garden
[C]on my hands and knees
[G]and i'll be singing a song
that is r[F]eally sad and s[C]weet
