Key: E major

Verse 1
F# F# 
 
C#m C#m 
 
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
E E 
 
A   man's got to make
B B 
 
E E 
 
B B 
 
his way in the world,
a woman's got to make hers too.
F# F# 
 
Everybody going their own way,
B B 
 
it's a wonder the world only
spins in one direction at a time
E E 
 
B B 
 
I said, since you come spinning by,
this corner of the world,
F# F# 
 
oh why don't we get acquainted?
B B 
 
Oh, it was only a  philosophical statement
A philosophical statement
A philosophical statement
E E 
 
Don't pin that rap on me
B B 
 
While you were flying coast -to -coast,
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
I   was drifting on the sea.
F# F# 
 
E E 
 
But did I say a man's got to
B B 
 
make his way in the world,
at least until it grinds to a stop?
F# F# 
 
E E 
 
And I don't want to end up twenty
B B 
 
years on the sidewalk
Holdin' my hand out to a taxi
and an empty wine bottle
E E 
 
She said, are you busy later?
B B 
 
I'd like to talk with you a while
F# F# 
 
After I water my bicycle
B B 
 
Oh, it was only a  philosophical statement,
a philosophical statement,
a philosophical statement.
E E 
 
What do you mean by that?
B B 
 
While you were lowering the volume,
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
I   was taking off my hat.
F# F# 
 
C#m C#m 
 
E E 
 
C#m C#m 
 
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
Oh, man's got to make his way in the world
I tell you, it's a crying shame
F# F# 
 
E E 
 
But in every single kind
B B 
 
E E 
 
B B 
 
of dimension,
F# F# 
 
B B 
 
that's been the angle of perspective.
E E 
 
Said I, I'd like to understand,
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
but the more we talk, the better I like it. Oh,
B B 
 
it was only a  philosophical statement
A philosophical statement
A philosophical statement
E E 
 
Does it explain what's going on?
B B 
 
F# F# 
 
Or is it electricity that makes
B B 
 
philosophy fun?
