[A]I met Ferdinand

[Verse 1]
[A]
[G]de Saussur[D]e[A]
On [G]a night l[D]ike t[A]his
On love he said
[G]"I'm not so [D]sure[A]
I [G]even know what [D]it [A]is
No [G]understanding
No [D]closure
[A]It is a nem[G]esis[D][A]
You can't use [G]a bulld[D]ozer[A]
[G]To study orchids"

[Verse 2]
He [D]said
[A]So we don't know [G]anything[D]
[A]You don't know any[G]thing[D]
[A]I don't know any[G]thi[D]ng
[A]about [G]love[D][A]
But we are [G]noth[D] ing
[A]You are not[G]hing[D][A]
I am [G]nothing
[D]Without lov[A]e

[Verse 3]
I'm [A]just [G]a great comp[D]oser[A]
And not [G]a violent m[D]an[A]
But I [G]lost my compos[D]ure[A]
And I shot [G]Ferdin[D]and[A]
Crying "it's [G]well and [D]kosh[A]er
to say you don't [G]under[D]stand[A]
but this is for [G]Holland- [D]Dozier- Holland"

[A]We don't kno[G]w any[D][A][G]
[D]thing
