Tom: C
Intro: electric guitar (acoustic plays Am, G, F, Em )
Am G F Em
Summer stretching on the grass, summer dresses pass
Am G F Em
In the shade of a willow tree creeps a crawling over me
there are some harmonics in the background (work with these):
Am G F Em
Over me and over you, stuck together with GOD's glue
Am G
It's going to get sticker, too
F G
It's been a long hot summer, let's get undercover
F G
Don't try too hard to think, don't think at all
chorus, electric guitar:
C Am
I'm not the only one staring at the sun
D D F
Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside
C Am
Not just deaf and dumb staring at the sun
D D F
I'm not the only one who's happy to go blind
Am G
There's an insect in your ear
F Em
If you scratch it won't disappear
Am G
It's gonna itch and burn and sting
F Em
Do you want to see what the scratching brings?
Am G
Waves that leave me out of reach
F Em
Breaking on your back like a beach
Am G
Will we ever live in peace?
F G
Cause those that can't do often have to
F G
And those that can't do often have to
C Am
Preach to the ones staring at the sun
D D F
Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside
C Am
Not just deaf and dumb staring at the sun
D D F
I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind
bridge:
Am D2
Am G
with fill:
Intransigence is all around, military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle
GO
D is good, but will He listen?
I'm nearly great, but there's something missing
F G
I left in the duty free though
F G
You never really belonged to me
C Am
You're not the only one staring at the sun
D D F
Afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside
C Am
I'm not sucking my thumb, I'm staring at the sun
D D F
Not the only one who's happy to go blind
