C 
Mozart was crazy 

Flat fucking crazy 
G7 
Batshit I hear 


        C 
But his music's not crazy 

It's balanced, it's nimble 
     F/G 
It's crystalline clear 


        Em 
There's harmony, logic 
    E 
You listen to these 
    Am 
You don't hear his doubt 
       G 
or his debt or disease 
    F 
You scan through the score 
        E7 
and put fingers on keys 
        Am     G 
And you play ... 
    F                    Gsus G 
And everything else goes away 
F                    Gsus G 
Everything else goes away 


        Dm 
And you play till it's perfect 

You play till you ache 
    Bb 
You play till the strings or your fingernails break 
          C/G 
So you'll rock that recital 
    C+/Ab 
And get into Yale 
       Am 
So you won't feel so sick 
        Edim/Bb 
And you won't look so pale 
             F/A 
'Cause you've got your full ride 
         F/Ab 
And your early admit 
          C/G 
So you're done with this school 
         D/Gb 
And with all of this shit 
        Fmaj7 
And you graduate early 
       E9sus      E9 
You're gone as of May 
            Am                    Fm/Ab 
And there's nothing your paranoid parents can say 
        C 
And you know that it's just a sonata away 
       D 
And you play 
        Dm 
And you play 
    Dm                   Gsus G 
And everything else goes away 
G7                   Gsus G 
Everything else goes away 
Dm         C/F            G 
Everything else ... (goes away)
