C G
Well there's one thing Mama, I think you should know
C
It is not love that makes the flowers grow
C
But a complex electron transfer process known as
C G
photosynthesis when chlorophyll reacts with the light of day
C
Since you're gone, the light has gone away
[Verse 2]
C G
Oh there's one more thing Mama, I think that you'll find
C
It is not love that makes the stars shine
C
But the spontaneous combustion of super-heated and
C
super-condensed gasses in the process known as fusion
G
that creates new elements when the time is right
C
Since you're gone, stars don't shine so bright
[Verse 3]
C G
Oh there's another thing Mama, I think I should confide
C
It is not love that'll turn the tide

But the net difference in the gravitational pull between
C G
the Earth and the Moon as it is acted out upon the waves

But since you're gone, I feel washed away
[Verse 4]
F
I could have been a mathematician
F
Studied rockets for a livin'
C G
Would've worked out better in the end
F C
But to get more specific I'd break every law of physics

To bring you back to me again

C G
Well there's one more thing, I'll tell you if I can
C
It is not love, that makes a non-stick frying pan
C
But a top-secret, trademarked, conglomerated,
C
most likely carcinogenic, polyurethane compound spread in a micro-thin substance,
C
over a negatively charged layer of aluminum, copper, iron, lead,
C G
VHS, FYI, apple pie, FBI, and some other elements too
C
Since you're gone, I wish I'd stuck to you
