conversin' with the flowers,

consultin' with the rain.
Em
D
My head I'd be scratchin'

If I only had a brain

I'd unravel every riddle
Em

trouble or in pain

With the thoughts I'd be thinkin'
G
A
I could be another Lincoln
Em
Asus4
G
D
Oh, I could tell you why
G
Em
A
D
the oceans near the shore
Em
F#
and I could think of things
Em
D
Asus4
and then I'd sit and think some more
A
D
I would not be just a nothing
Em
G
my head all full of stuff
A
Asus4
D
in my heart all full of pain
Em
D
And perhaps I could serve you
G
A
and be even worthier,
Asus4
D
Em
D
yet if I only had a brain.

he should be on his metal,

Because I'm presuming that
G
A
I could be kinda human
D
Bm
if I only had a heart
Em
A
D
Bm
I'd be tender, I'd be gentle,
Em

and awfully sentimental
D
A

regarding love an d art

and the guy who shoots the arrows

if I only had a heart

Picture me, a balcony,
Bm

above a voice sings low,
C#m
F#
Bm
Wherefore art thou Romeo?
D
Em
D
Asus4
I'd hear a beat, how sweet,
A
D
Bm
Just to register emotion,
Em
G
jealousy, devotion,
D
Asus4
D
and really feel the part.
Em
D
I would stay young and chipper
G
Asus4
and I'd lock it with a zipper
D
Bm
Em
Asus4

if I won't be at a haunt

D
Bm
Life is sad, believe me, missy,
Em
A
when you're born to be a sissy
D
A
D
without the pimp and merc.
Em
D
But I could change my habits,
G
A
nevermore be scared of rabbits
D
Bm
Em
if I only had the nerve
A
D
Bm
I'm afraid there's no denying,
Em
A
I'm just a dandelion,
D
A
D
a feat I don't deserve
Em
D
But I could show my prowess,
G
A
be a lion, not a maoist
D
A
Asus4
D
if I only had the nerve
Em
A
D
I'd be full of pride,
Bm
Em
A
D
a king down to the core,
A
D
A
C#m
and I would roar the way
F#
Bm
I never roared before.
D
G
And then I'd roar,
D
Asus4
and roar some more.
A
D
Bm
I would show the dinosauress
Em
A
who's king around the forest,
D
A
a king they'd better serve.
D
Em
D
Why with my regal beezer
G
A
I could be another Caesar
D

If I only had a nerve,

if I only had a brain,
A
D
Bm
Em
A
D
Em
if I only had a heart
