E G#m A B
The demands made upon you are hard to live up to
E G#m A B
It's futile to try and deny
E G#m
And the things you hold dearly
A B
Are scoffed at and yearly
E G#m F#m B
Judged once and then tossed aside'
A
Cause they're blind
F#m A
They hold you too close to the light
F#m E
And I see what they only might
G#m
If they'd learn
F#m B
but they're letting you burn
E G#m A B
Cause they're blind
E G#m
To the brown-eyed beholder
A B
See the chip on your shoulder
E G#m A B
The fools don't want to believe
E G#m
that you're so hard to talk to
A B
And so easy to read through
E G#m F#m B
And nobody looks past your sleeve
A
Cause they're blind
F#m A
They hold you too close to the light
F#m E G#m
And I see what they only might if they learn
A B
but they're letting you burn
E G#m A B
Cause they're blind
A
They only like what they can see
And what they don't, they just don't agree
E E7
If you'll run to me, run, run
F#m
Only like a day with him
Just one day with him
D
Then you'll run back
B E
Then you'll run back blind
SOLO
A
An old man said to me
Go and take it easy now
E E7
You'll run to me, run, run
F#m
Only like a day with him
Just one day with him
D
Then you'll run back
B E G#m
Then you'll run back blind
F#m B E G#m
They hold you too close to the light
F#m B E G#m
And I see what they only might if they learn
A B
but they're letting you burn
E G#m
Cause they're blind
A B
letting you burn
E G#m A B E
Cause they're blind
