[VERSE 1]
[D]I have a number in my head
Though I don't know why it'[G]s the[Am7]re [G]
When [D7]numbers get s[G]erious
[C] You see their shape eve[D]rywhere
[D] Dividing and [G]multiplying
[Bm7] Exchanging with[Em] ease
[C] When times are m[G]ysterious
Seri[Am]ous numbe[D]rs are eage[G]r to please
[CHORUS]
[F#] Take my address. T[B]ake my phone
[F#] Call me if you c[B]an
[F#] Here's my address. H[B]ere's my phone
[F#] Please don't give it to some [B]madman
Hey h[F#]ey, whoa, w[B]hoa
it's a[F#] complicated[B] life
[F#] Numbers swirling t[B]hick and curious
You can[Em7] cut them with a knife
You can[C] cut them with a[D] kni[G]fe [Am]
[VERSE 2]
[G] Two times two is [D]twenty-two
Four times four is [G]forty-four[Am7] [G]
When[D7] numbers get [G]serious
[C] They leave a mark on your [D]door
[D] Urgent. Urgent. A t[G]elephone
[Bm7] ringing in t[Em]he hallways
[C] When times are m[G]ysterious
Serious[Am] numbers will [D]speak to us[G] always
[CHORUS]
[F#] That is why a [B]man with numbers can
[F#] put your mind at [B]ease
[F#] We've got numbers [B]by the trillions
[F#] Here and over[B]seas
Hey[F#] hey, whoa [B]whoa
Look at the[F#] stink about J[B]apan
[F#] All those numbers w[B]aiting patiently
[Em7] Don't you understand?
[C] Don't you under[D]stand? [G]
[VERSE 3]
[G] So wrap me, wrap me, [D]wrap me do
In the shelter of your [G]arms[Am7] [G]
I am[D7] ever your[G] volunteer
[C] I won't do you any[D] harm
[D] I will love inn[G]umerably
[Bm7] You can count on my[Em] word
[C] When times are mys[G]terious
Serious n[Am]umbers will al[D]ways be h[G]eard
[C] When t[D7]imes are my[G]sterious
Serious n[C]umbers will a[D7]lways be he[G]ard
[OUTRO]
[Bb] And after all is said and done
[Ab] And the numbers all come home
The four rolls into[Eb] three
The [Eb]three turns int[Ab]o two
The two becomes a o[Eb]ne

Though I don't know why it'[G]s the[Am7]re [G]
When [D7]numbers get s[G]erious
