  C                     G
I met you in biology in high school 
                                  C
You told me after college we'd be wed 
F                        C
You were my favorite lab partner 
         D7                                    G
Till you ran off with that brilliant young pre-med 

   F                       C
My pain would show up on a CAT scan 
   G                            C
My optic nerves are only seeing blue 
   F
My blood hates to flow 
  C               Am
Because it has to go
            F              G                    C 
Through the four-chambered heart that cries for you 

           F      G             C
I'm in the lonely lab of broken hearts 
  F                   G             C             Am
I dissect the way you say goodbye until it falls apart 
           F      G              Em      Am
I'm in the lonely lab of feeling blue 
       F                G                C
And my pheromones can't find no trace of you 


You were as sweet as crystalline carbohydrates 
The rods and cones in my optical receptors are filled with tears 
I wanted to elope so we could make some isotopes 
With a half-life of a million thousand years 

If I suspended my tracheal dilations till you returned here 
My muscles would need ATP anaerobic respiration 
Adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thianine might make up my DNA 
But my love gene must be missing from its station 

Chorus

"The metallurgist is the musician's best friend. This statement has been echoed throughout 
the ages, for without the metallurgist, we could not have such musical things as triangles, 
cymbals, margarine tubs, or guitar strings. Guitar strings are produced by the wire-drawing 
process, where solid metal is pulled through dyes with progressively smaller diameters, until 
the desired diameter, or gauge, is reached. The ability to be drawn into wires is called 
ductility, and separates metals from other materials, such as wood, ceramics, or plastic milk 
jugs, which are made by the blow-molding process...you put the milk in later."

Chorus

Chorus (with no guitar)

       F              G                C 
And my pheremones can find no trace of you 

"U stands for uranium. There are several isotopes of uranium, three of which are radioactive."
