A          G          D 
I met Ferdinand de Saussure 
A      G         D 
On a night like this 
A                         
On love he said 
G        D 
"I'm not so sure 
A       G           D 
I even know what it is 
A          G 
No understanding 
D 
No closure 
A         G   D 
It is a nemesis 
A             G     D 
You can't use a bulldozer 
A          G        D 
To study orchids, he said so...
