[Verse 1]
Pl[Am]ease, beware of them that stare,
They'll o[E]nly smile to see you while your [Gadd4/F]time away, |[E7sus4] / / [E7]/ / |
And o[Am]nce you've seen what they have been,
To win the ea[E]rth just won't seem worth your[Gadd4/F] night, or your day,
| [E7sus4] / / /[E7] / | Who'll[Gadd4/F] hear ...what I [E7sus4]say?[E7]
[Verse 2]
[Am] Look around, you find the ground is n[E]ot so far from where you are,
[Gadd4/F] But don't be too [E7sus4]wise, [E7] [Am] for down below they never grow,
They're al[E]ways tired, and charms are hired,
[Gadd4/F] From out of their [E7sus4] ...eyes,[E7]
[Gadd4/F] Never sur - [E7sus4]prise! | [E7]/ / / / |
[Verse 3]
[A] Take your time, and yo[A4]u'll be fine,
And s[A]ay a prayer for p[D/A]eople there,[C/G] who live on the [D7/F#]floor,[D6/F#] [D7/F#]
And, i[A]f you see what's m[A4]eant to be, don't n[A]ame the day, or [D/A]try to say,
[C/G] It happened be - [D7/F#]fore![D6/F#] [D7/F#]
|[Gadd4/F] / / / / | [E7sus4] / / / / | [E7]/ / / / |
[Verse 4]
[Am] Don't be shy, you'll learn to fly,
And s[E]ee the sun when day is done, [Gadd4/F] if only you see,
|[E7sus4] / / [E7]/ / | (A)- J[Am]ust what you are, beneath the star,
That ca[E]me to stay one rainy day,
[Gadd4/F] In autumn for free, | [E7sus4] / / [E7]/ / |
Yes,[Gadd4/F] be what you'll [E7sus4] ...be! | [E7] / / / / |

[Verse 6]
Pl[Am]ease, beware of them that stare,
They'll o[E]nly smile to see you while your [Gadd4/F]time away, |[E7sus4] / / [E7]/ / |
And o[Am]nce you've seen what they have been,
To win the ea[E]rth just won't seem worth your [Gadd4/F]night, or your day,
[E7sus4]| / / [E7]/ / | Who'll[Gadd4/F] hear ...what I [E7sus4] ...say? | [E7]/ / / / |
[Verse 7]
[A] Open up the br[A4]oken cup, let go[A]odly sin and su[D/A]nshine in,
[C/G] Yes, that's today,[D7/F#] [D6/F#] [D7/F#]
And op[A]en wide the hy[A4]mns you hide, you fi[A]nd renown while p[D/A]eople frown...
[C/G] ...At things that you say,[D7/F#] [D6/F#] [D7/F#]
[C/G] But say what you'll[D7/F#]---- ...say...[D6/F#] [D7/F#]
[Verse 8]
[Gadd4/F] ...About the farmers and the [E7sus4]fun,[E7]
[Gadd4/F] And the things behind the [E7sus4]sun,[E7]
[Gadd4/F] And the people around [E7sus4]your head,[E7]
[Gadd4/F] Who say,'Everything's been [E7sus4] ...said![E7]',
[Gadd4/F] And the movement in your [E7sus4]brain,[E7]
[Gadd4/F] Sends you out into the [E7sus4]rain![E7]
