E MajorE        G# minorG#m      A augmentedA      BB
The demands made upon you are hard to live up to
E MajorE       G# minorG#m   A augmentedA   BB
It's futile to try and deny
E MajorE            G# minorG#m
And the things you hold dearly
  A augmentedA       BB
Are scoffed at and yearly
E MajorE        G# minorG#m     F# minorF#m  BB
Judged once and then tossed aside'
       A augmentedA
Cause they're blind
   F# minorF#m            A augmentedA
They hold you too close to the light
F# minorF#m           E MajorE
And I see what they only might
      G# minorG#m
If they'd learn
      F# minorF#m     BB
but they're letting you burn
        E MajorE  G# minorG#m A augmentedA BB
Cause they're blind
E MajorE         G# minorG#m
To the brown-eyed beholder
     A augmentedA     BB
See the chip on your shoulder
E MajorE        G# minorG#m   A augmentedA   BB
The fools don't want to believe
        E MajorE    G# minorG#m
that you're so hard to talk to
    A augmentedA    BB
And so easy to read through
E MajorE     G# minorG#m       F# minorF#m   BB
And nobody looks past your sleeve
        A augmentedA
Cause they're blind
F# minorF#m              A augmentedA
They hold you too close to the light
F# minorF#m           E MajorE       G# minorG#m
And I see what they only might if they learn
      A augmentedA      BB
but they're letting you burn
       E MajorE  G# minorG#m A augmentedA  BB
Cause they're blind
A augmentedA
They only like what they can see

And what they don't, they just don't agree
E MajorE             E7E7
If you'll run to me, run, run
F# minorF#m
Only like a day with him

Just one day with him
D MajorD
Then you'll run back
BB          E MajorE
Then you'll run back blind

SOLO

A augmentedA
An old man said to me

Go and take it easy now
E MajorE           E7E7
You'll run to me, run, run
F# minorF#m
Only like a day with him

Just one day with him
D MajorD
Then you'll run back
BB          E MajorE  G# minorG#m
Then you'll run back blind
F# minorF#m        BB       E MajorE  G# minorG#m
They hold you too close to the light
F# minorF#m      BB      E MajorE       G# minorG#m
And I see what they only might if they learn
      A augmentedA      BB
but they're letting you burn
       E MajorE  G# minorG#m
Cause they're blind
A augmentedA      BB
letting you burn
       E MajorE  G# minorG#m A augmentedA BB E MajorE
Cause they're blind
