Story behind the song
Word-wise, it was just a matter of documenting a topical issue.
Music-wise, I felt a strong urge to compose. The only preconceived idea that I had was to use a new symphonic sound bank. I wanted delicate, subtle timbres and intertwining, counterpunctal melody lines.
Later, as I was tuning my electric guitar and playing basic chords over a straight-ahead drum loop, the Geekette happened by and swooned.
She loves nothing more than heavy, primitive rock music, you see, and with the lyrics already singing her praise, I had no choice but to go down this rocky road, even if my pop proclivities ended up needlessly polluting what could have been a good ol plain and simple rudimentary rock and roll tune.
Still, pump up the volume, and give Chemistry a whirl.
You might not regret it.
Lyrics
Em / C7 / Am / B7
Everybody tells me
That love doesnt last
That pretty soon it just becomes
A thing of the past
E / C7 / Eb7 / B7
I dont know where they get their info
But they all agree
That three years is the turning point
Its biochemistry
E / B7 / E / A / Adim7 / E
Well its been
Three years
And a day
And Im happy to say
That I love you
Three years
And a week
And Im happy to say
That I want you
Three years
And a month
And all I wanna do
Is jump your bones
Three years
And a year
And the chemistrys
Still here
Pheromones run out they say
The magic disappears
You wake up from a silly dream
And wonder why youre here
Passion peters out they say
And lovely tuns to foul
You settle for companionship
Or go back on the prowl
Dm / Am / E7 / Am / Fdim7 / Am / F#7 / B7
Maybe theyre just jealous
Maybe theyre just envious
Maybe theyre upset
By our beautiful duet
Cuz its been
Three years
And a day
And Im happy to say
That I love you
Three years
And a week
And Im happy to say
That I want you
Three years
And a month
And Im happy to say
That you still blow me away
Three years
And a year
And the chemistrys
Still here
(Or maybe its the prozac)
