Verse 1
E(riff)             A augmentedA        F# minorF#m
Pathological monsters! cried the terrified mathematician
   A augmentedA        B7B7       E MajorE
Every one of them is a splinter in my eye
      E MajorE
I hate the Peano Space and the Koch Curve
      A augmentedA       F# minorF#m
I fear the Cantor Ternary Set
    A augmentedA       B7B7         E MajorE
The Sierpinski Gasket makes me want to cry
   Amaj7Amaj7     EMaj7Emaj7 Amaj7Amaj7   EMaj7Emaj7
And a million miles away a butterfly flapped its wings
   Amaj7Amaj7     EMaj7Emaj7  F# minorF#m       B7B7       E(riff) 2x
On a cold November day.. a man named Benoit Mandelbrot was born

Verse 2
E(riff)                  A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
His disdain for pure mathematics and his unique geometrical insights
     A augmentedA        B7B7          E(riff)
Left him well equipped to face those demons down
      E MajorE              A augmentedA           F# minorF#m
He saw that infinite complexity could be described by simple rules
      A augmentedA        BB         E MajorE
He used his giant brain to turn the game around
    Amaj7Amaj7           EMaj7Emaj7
And he looked below the storm and saw a vision in his head
 Amaj7Amaj7      EMaj7Emaj7
A augmentedA bulbous pointy form
       F# minorF#m       BB        E MajorE  B7B7 E MajorE B7B7
He picked his pencil up and he wrote his secret down

Pre Chorus
    E MajorE      B7B7    E MajorE    B7B7
Take a point called C majorC in the complex plane
  E MajorE    B7B7      E MajorE B7B7
Let Z1 be Z squared plus C majorC
   E MajorE    B7B7      E MajorE B7B7
And Z2 is Z1 squared plus C majorC
   E MajorE    B7B7      E MajorE (break)
And Z3 is Z2 squared plus C majorC and so on
    A augmentedA          B7B7
If the series of Z's should always stay
AbAb          C# minorC#m  BB
Close to C majorC and never trend away
   A augmentedA        B7B7     E MajorE (break)
That point is in the Mandelbrot Set

Chorus
      B7B7
Mandelbrot Set you're a Rorschach Test on fire
     E MajorE
You're a day-glo pterodactyl
     B7B7
You're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire
      E MajorE       E7E7
You're one badass fucking fractal
      F#11F#11      Amaj7Amaj7
And you're just in time to save the day
F#11F#11       Amaj7Amaj7
Sweeping all our fears away
    F#11F#11         Amaj7Amaj7  E(riff)4x
You can change the world in a tiny way

Verse 3
E MajorE (hold)              A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
Mandelbrot's in heaven, at least he will be when he's dead
        A augmentedA        B7B7        E(riff)
Right now he's still alive and teaching math at Yale
      E(riff)            A augmentedA          F# minorF#m
He gave us order out of chaos, he gave us hope where there was none
    A augmentedA      B7B7         E MajorE
And his geometry succeeds where others fail
    Amaj7Amaj7     EMaj7Emaj7 Amaj7Amaj7     EMaj7Emaj7
If you ever lose your way, a butterfly will flap its wings
    Amaj7Amaj7     EMaj7Emaj7     F# minorF#m     B7B7        E MajorE  B7B7 E MajorE B7B7
From a million miles away, a little miracle will come to take you home

Pre Chorus
    E MajorE      B7B7    E MajorE    B7B7
Take a point called C majorC in the complex plane
  E MajorE    B7B7      E MajorE B7B7
Let Z1 be Z squared plus C majorC
   E MajorE    B7B7      E MajorE B7B7
And Z2 is Z1 squared plus C majorC
   E MajorE    B7B7      E MajorE (break)
And Z3 is Z2 squared plus C majorC and so on
    A augmentedA          B7B7
If the series of Z's should always stay
AbAb          C# minorC#m  BB
Close to C majorC and never trend away
   A augmentedA        B7B7     E MajorE (break)
That point is in the Mandelbrot Set

Final Chorus
      B7B7
Mandelbrot Set you're a Rorschach Test on fire
     E MajorE
You're a day-glo pterodactyl
     B7B7
You're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire
      E MajorE       E7E7

And you're just in time to save the day
F#11F#11       Amaj7Amaj7
Sweeping all our fears away
    F#11F#11         Amaj7Amaj7  E(riff)
You can change the world in a tiny way
