D C Bm Bb
The rock on which I stand is slowly sinking in the sand
G A D
The sheer realities of life are rushing by
D C Em G Bb
I am looking out at life and I don`t know what`s wrong or right
G A D
And I can`t even see the bright side of the moon
-----------------------
CHORUS
*******
D A
I stopped a man in the street today
C Em
And I asked him `Sir, is it night or day
F Em Bm
He just stared in disbelief
D A
I asked again but he walked away
C
He said `Don`t you know
Em F Em
I said `Can`t you say? Is there something inbetween
F Em
Is it something I`ve not seen
F C D
Did it change so fast or was it just a dream
C G Bb Bm A D
-----------------------
VERSE 2
********
D C Bm Bb
Time and time again I`ve tried to recreate the past few days
G A D
Evaluate the constants from the haze
D F G
But every time I think I`m right, they say I`m wrong
Bb G
`This day is night and night is day
D
It`s there in black and white`
-----------------------
CHORUS
*******
D A
Night is light and dark is day
C Em
If I disagree they say I`m insane
F G
And the treatment will begin
D A
If I say that the day is light
C Em
They just point my eyes to the blinding night, saying
F Em F Em
`We can`t set you free if you always disagree,
F C D
So the State is going to pay your doctor`s fee`

They put me out in the pouring rain

To enjoy the sun or to feel the pain

I asked a man in the street today

Did it change so fast or was it just a dream

I saw a man in the street today
