DmDm Bb majorBb
He had a thousand ideas, You might have heard his name
FF C majorC G5G5
He lived alone with his vision, Not looking for fortune and fame
DmDm Bb majorBb
Never said too much to speak of He was off on another plane
FF C majorC G5G5
The words that he said were a mystery Nobody's sure he was sane
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chorus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DmDm FF G+G DmDm
But he knew He knew more than me or you
FF G+G DmDm Bb majorBb C majorC G5G5
No one could see his view Where was he going to
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Verse 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
DmDm Bb majorBb
He was in search of an answer The nature of what we are

He was trying to do it a new way He was bright as a star

But nobody understood him "His numbers are not the way"
FF C majorC G5G5
He's lost in the deepest enigma Which no one's unraveled today
