Mr. John Flansburgh: When I was 39 years old, I heard a story. 
I found out that there [are] people walking among us who have superpowers.

C#m                      
These people are called Supertasters. 
To a Supertaster, bitter fruits taste far more bitter, and sweets far more sweet.
    C#m          C#m             E          E        D#m        D#m        B         B 
Then, just a few months ago, I had the chance to meet a real, live Supertaster named John Lee.
