Intro - Riff
Verse 1:
A (p.m.)
We start the story when Mom met Dad
A (p.m.) G
And they danced all night and he took her home
A (p.m.)
It might have been all the wine they had
A (p.m.)
But they rolled the dice and won your genome
Pre-Chorus 1:
Then you Ggrew and you Dgrew and one Aday you were Bmyou
And you Glooked like your Dfather and AmoAsus4ther A
If you're lookiGng for Dsomeone conAvenient to Bmblame
You can Gtake your pick it's one or the Aother
Chorus:
DNAA, Gyou're in my Dheart
DNAA, in fact you're Gin every Dpart of Amy body
Each cell Ghas a nucleus, each nucleus Ahas chromosomes
Intro Riff
And DNA, baby, that spells DNA
Verse 2:
A (p.m.)
Guanine met Cytosine, fell in love
A (p.m.) G
And then Thymine got busy with Adenine
A (p.m.)
They sent the messenger-RNA
A (p.m.) A
To the ribosome to make more protein
Pre-Chorus 2:
And while it's Gkilling you Ddead it will Amess with your Bmhead
And it's the Glight in the Ddark that will Aguide you Asus4 A
It's the Gpages and Dpages of what Ayou are Bmlike
In the Ggiant book that's hidden insAide you
Chorus:
DNAA, Gyou're in my Dheart
DNAA, in fact you're Gin every Dpart of Amy body
Each cell Ghas a nucleus, each nucleus Ahas chromosomes
Intro Riff
And DNA, baby, that spells DNA
Bridge:
If it says GTGGTCGAAA7C
Then you might get the Dadd4/Acancer A7
If it says GGTCACEmGACAGA7G
Then you shouldn't eat Dadd4/Ashrimp or Anuts
If it says GTATAEmCACAC9TATCBbCTCGA7T
Then you'll probably wish that you didn't Dknow
(Guitar Solo!)
Verse 3:
A (p.m.)
The time will come when you're almost gone
A (p.m.) G
And you try to guess but you'll never know
A (p.m.)
You do your best and you soldier on
A (p.m.)
Every day you're here till it's time to go
Pre-Chorus 3:
All the Ggood things and Dbad that you Ado or don't Bmhave
You can Gfind out for Dsure if you got Aem Asus4 A
But there's a Gspiraling Dstaircase that Ayou're falling Bmdown
And you're Gnothing but dead at the Abottom
Chorus:
DNAA, Gyou're in my Dheart
DNAA, in fact you're Gin every Dpart of Amy body
Each cell Ghas a nucleus, each nucleus Ahas chromosomes
Intro Riff
And DNA, baby, that spells DNA
