[Intro]
Em Am C D
Em Am C D
[Verse 1]
Em Am C D
A dot isn't the best way to try to sum up how electrons come and go
Em Am C D
They are the states of a matter field that follows an equation that Dirac wrote
Em Am C D
The Schroedinger part of the whole equation will just lead in sub-c when it expands
Em Am C D
Now get that Coulomb and add it in with a proton and watch them start to dance
n.c.
As hydrogen it's like
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Em Am
"Oh proton I feel your tug
C D Em
Central potential dip down pulling on me
Am
But I'm not falling in deep
C D
No that would break uncertainty"
Em Am
Say oh electrons move too much
C D Em
Slow down your pace and put that orbit on me
Am
Come on now, follow my lead
C
Come—come on now, follow my lead
[Chorus 1]
Em Am C
Orbitals take the shape they do
D Em
As stable states of the quantum rules
Am C
And when a one approaches two
D
They combine and they're bonding
Em Am C
Thus, hydrogen as a rule
Em
Is found in nature as H2
Am C
Energy configuring a molecule
D
Diatomically bonding
Em Am C D
(low high low high low high low high) Diatomically bonding
Em Am C D
(low high low high low high low high) Diatomically bonding
Em Am C D
(low high low high low high low high) Diatomically bonding
Em Am C
Energy configuring a molecule
D
When orbitals take the shape they do
[Verse 2]
Em Am
One half spin will give a lepton a twin
C D
One up one down in the ground state
Em Am
With S and P in quadruple degeneracy
C D
The second shell can be filled up with eight
Em Am
The higher angular powers spread out like beautiful flowers
C D
In middle families, they come into play
Em Am
Well here's a carbon with 6 e- this ain't nothing tricksy
C D
But we're gonna make some methane today
n.c.
with hydrogen it's like
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em Am
"Oh atoms I feel your tug
C D Em
Got my electrons bugged out pulling on me
Am
Come on now settle round me
C D
I'll hybridize to SP3"
Em Am
Say oh, Carbon here's our touch
C D Em
Spread out one-oh-nine-point-four-seven degrees
Am
Come on now follow our lead
C D
Come come on now follow our lead
[Chorus 2]
Em Am C
Molecules take the shape they do
D Em
Combining states of the quantum rules
Am C
Like when a shell goes SP2
D
For sigma pi double bonding
Em Am C
And as widely as their purview
D Em
They spread out in the molecule
Am C
Look at benzene in a ring, they hold it true
D
Aromatically bonding
Em Am C D
(low high low high low high low high) Aromatically bonding
Em Am C D
(low high low high low high low high) Aromatically bonding
Em Am C D
(low high low high low high low high) Aromatically bonding
Em Am C
Look at benzene in a ring, they hold it true
D
When orbitals take the shape they do
[Bridge]
N.C
Come bond with me baby, come bond
N.C
Come bond with me baby, come bond
N.C
Come bond with me baby, come bond
N.C
Come bond with me baby, come bond
Em Am
Come bond with me baby, come bond
C D
Come bond with me baby, come bond
Em Am
Come bond with me baby, come bond
C D
Come bond with me baby, come bond
[Chorus 3]
Em Am C
Polymers take the shape they do
D Em
Combining base-level residues
Am C
Like RNA's ACGU
D Em
Look they're hydrogen bonding!
Am C
Peptides make a chain and group
D Em
In beta pleat sheets and corkscrews
Am C
With these secondary links they fold and move
D
They're all over your body
[Outro]
Em Am
Come bond with me baby, come bond
C D
Come bond with me baby, come bond
(They're all over your body)
Em Am
Come bond with me baby, come bond
C D
Come bond with me baby, come bond
(They're all over your body)
Em Am
Come bond with me baby, come bond
C D
Come bond with me baby, come bond
(They're all over your body)
Em Am C
You're a chemical machine, it's best you knew
D Em
That molecules take the shape of you
