CHORUS
 C#mF#m7
N.C. I'm a melancholy man, that's what I am,
 G#C#m
All the world surrounds me and my feet, are on the ground.
 C#mF#m7
N.C.I'm a very lonely man, doing what I can,
 G#C#m
 All the world astounds me and I think, I understand
 G#7C#mC#m
That we're going, to keep growing, wait and see.

VERSE 1
 C#m
 When all the stars are falling down,
 F#m7
 Into the sea and on the ground,
 G#C#m
 And angry voices carry on the wind.

VERSE 2
 C#m
 A beam of light will fill your head,
 F#m7
 And you'll remember what's been said
 G#C#m
 By all the good men this world's ever known.

VERSE 3
 C#m
 Another man is what you'll see,
 F#m7
 Who looks like you, and looks like me,
 G#C#m
 And yet somehow, he will not feel the same.

VERSE 4
 C#mF#m7
 His life caught up in misery, he doesn't think like you and me,
 G#C#m
 'Cause he can't see, what you and I can see.
