Am G F Em
Summer stretching on the grass, Summer dresses pass
Am G F Em
In the shade of a willow tree, Creeps a crawling over me
Am G F Em
Over me and over you, Stuck together with God`s glue
Am G F
It`s going to get stickier too, It`s been a long hot summer
G F G
Let`s get undercover, Don`t try too hard to think, Don`t think at all
C
I`m not the only one
Am
Starin` at the sun
Dsus
Afraid of what you`d find
F
You step back inside
C
You're not just deaf and dumb
Am
Staring at the sun
Dsus
You're not the only one
F
Who`s happy to go blind
Am, Dsus x2
Am G F Em
There`s an insect in your ear, If you scratch it won`t disappear
Am G F Em
Gonna itch and burn and sting, You want to see what the scratching brings
Am G F Em
Waves that leave me out of reach, Breaking on your back like a beach
Am G
Will we ever live in peace?
F G
Cause those that can`t do...often have to
F G
Those that can`t do...often have to preach
C
To the ones
Am
Starin` at the sun
Dsus
Afraid of what you`d find
F
You step back inside
C
You're not just deaf and dumb
Am
Staring at the sun
Dsus
You're not the only one
F
Who`s happy to go blind
Am, Dsus x2
Am G F Em
Intransigence is all around, Military still in town
Am G F Em
Armour plated suits and ties, Daddy just won`t say goodbye
Am G F Em
Referee won`t blow the whistle, God is good but will he listen
Am G
I`m nearly great but there`s something I`m missing
F G
I left in the duty free
F G
She never really belonged to me
C
I`m not the only one
Am
Starin` at the sun
Dsus
Afraid of what you`d find
F
You step back inside
C
I'm not sucking on my thumb
Am
I'm staring at the sun
Dsus
I'm not the only one
F
Who`s happy to go blind
C
Happy to go blind
Am
Happy to go blind
Dsus
Happy to go blind
F
Happy to go, happy to go
C
Happy to go blind
Am
Happy to go blind
Dsus
Happy to go blind
F (C)
Happy to go, happy to go, happy to go...blind
after the song, he comes in and does...
Am Dsus Am Dsus (x3)
Ohh OhhOhh Ohhh Uh uh Ohhhhhhhhh...
End.
