Intro:
Esus2 E E-Esus4 E Esus2-E
Verse 1
E(riff) A F#m
Pathological monsters! cried the terrified mathematician
Every Aone of them is a B7splinter in my Eeye
I hate the EPeano Space and the Koch Curve
I fear the ACantor Ternary F#mSet
The SierApinski Gasket B7makes me want to cryE
And a Amaj7million miles Emaj7away a Amaj7butterfly Emaj7flapped its wings
Amaj7 Emaj7 F#m B7 E(riff) 2x
On a cold November day.. a man named Benoit Mandelbrot was born
Verse 2
E(riff) A F#m
His disdain for pure mathematics and his unique geometrical insights
A B7 E(riff)
Left him well equipped to face those demons down
He saw that Einfinite complexity could be Adescribed by simple ruF#mles
He used his Agiant brain to tBurn the game arounEd
And he Amaj7looked below the storm and Emaj7saw a vision in his head
A Amaj7bulbous pointy fEmaj7orm
He picked his F#mpencil up and he Bwrote his secret EdownB7 E B7
Pre Chorus
Take a Epoint called B7C in the Ecomplex B7plane
Let EZ1 be Z B7squared plus EC B7
And ZE2 is Z1 B7squared plus EC B7
E B7 E (break)
And Z3 is Z2 squared plus C and so on
If the Aseries of Z's should B7always stay
AbClose to C and never C#mtrend aBway
A B7 E (break)
That point is in the Mandelbrot Set
Chorus
Mandelbrot B7Set you're a Rorschach Test on fire
You're a Eday-glo pterodactyl
You're a B7heart-shaped box of springs and wire
You're one Ebadass fucking E7fractal
And you're F#11just in time to Amaj7save the day
F#11Sweeping all our Amaj7fears away
F#11 Amaj7 E(riff)4x
You can change the world in a tiny way
Verse 3
E (hold) A F#m
Mandelbrot's in heaven, at least he will be when he's dead
A B7 E(riff)
Right now he's still alive and teaching math at Yale
E(riff) A F#m
He gave us order out of chaos, he gave us hope where there was none
And his Ageometry sucB7ceeds where others Efail
If you Amaj7ever lose your Emaj7way, a Amaj7butterfly will Emaj7flap its wings
From a Amaj7million miles aEmaj7way, a little F#mmiracle will B7come to take you EhomeB7 E B7
Pre Chorus
Take a Epoint called B7C in the Ecomplex B7plane
Let EZ1 be Z B7squared plus EC B7
And ZE2 is Z1 B7squared plus EC B7
E B7 E (break)
And Z3 is Z2 squared plus C and so on
If the Aseries of Z's should B7always stay
AbClose to C and never C#mtrend aBway
A B7 E (break)
That point is in the Mandelbrot Set
Final Chorus
Mandelbrot B7Set you're a Rorschach Test on fire
You're a Eday-glo pterodactyl
You're a B7heart-shaped box of springs and wire
You're one Ebadass fucking E7fractal
And you're F#11just in time to Amaj7save the day
F#11Sweeping all our Amaj7fears away
F#11 Amaj7 E(riff)
You can change the world in a tiny way
Tag
And you're F#11just in time to Amaj7save the day
F#11Sweeping all our Amaj7fears away
You can F#11change the world in a Amaj7tiny way
Go on F#11change the world in a Amaj7tiny way
Come on F#11change the world in a Amaj7tiny way
