[Verse 1]
Am
Please, beware of them that stare,
E G11/F E7sus4 E7
They'll only smile to see you while your time away, | / / / / |
Am
And once you've seen what they have been,
E G11/F
To win the earth just won't seem worth your night, or your day,
E7sus4 E7 G11/F E7sus4 E7
| / / / / | Who'll hear ...what I say?
[Verse 2]
Am E
Look around, you find the ground is not so far from where you are,
G11/F E7sus4 E7 Am
But don't be too wise, for down below they never grow,
E
They're always tired, and charms are hired,
G11/F E7sus4 E7
From out of their ...eyes,
G11/F E7sus4 E7
Never sur - prise! | / / / / |
[Verse 3]
A A4
Take your time, and you'll be fine,
A D/A C/G D7/F# D6/F# D7/F#
And say a prayer for people there, who live on the floor,
A A4 A D/A
And, if you see what's meant to be, don't name the day, or try to say,
C/G D7/F# D6/F# D7/F#
It happened be - fore!
G11/F E7sus4 E7
| / / / / | / / / / | / / / / |
[Verse 4]
Am
Don't be shy, you'll learn to fly,
E G11/F
And see the sun when day is done, if only you see,
E7sus4 E7 Am
| / / / / | (A)- Just what you are, beneath the star,
E
That came to stay one rainy day,
G11/F E7sus4 E7
In autumn for free, | / / / / |
G11/F E7sus4 E7
Yes, be what you'll ...be! | / / / / |

A A4 A D/A
Open up the broken cup, let goodly sin and sunshine in,
C/G D7/F# D6/F# D7/F#
Yes, that's today, | / / / / |
A A4 A D/A
And open wide the hymns you hide, you find renown while people frown...
C/G D7/F# D6/F# D7/F#
...At things that you say, | / / / / |
C/G D7/F# D6/F# D7/F#
But say what you'll---- ...say...
[Verse 8]
G11/F E7sus4 E7
...About the farmers and the fun,
G11/F E7sus4 E7
And the things behind the sun,
G11/F E7sus4 E7
And the people around your head,
G11/F E7sus4 E7
Who say,'Everything's been ...said!',
G11/F E7sus4 E7
And the movement in your brain,
G11/F E7sus4 E7
Sends you out into the rain!
