Blind Chords

[Verse 1]
G           G
Now some of us are weak
Em       Em7
And some endure
G               G
And some people live their life
Em              Em7
With a violence that’s pure and clean
G           G
But I saw a man cry once
Em      Em7
Down on his knees
G                G
In the corner of a darkened cell
Em           Em7
And his pain meant nothing to me
 
[Chorus 1]
A         G
But I was younger then
A         G
And young men never die
A             G
When I walked out in the sun
 
A             G
I was strong, clear-minded and blind
 
G G Em Em7
 
[Verse 2]
G
Now don’t say a prayer for anyone
Em            Em7
It doesn’t do any good
G
Please don’t ask me a question
Em             Em7
You'll just be misunderstood
G
And if you could step inside me
Em              Em7
You'd feel what hatred brings
G
And if you saw with my eyes
Em             Em7
You'd see what self-deception means
 
[Chorus 2]
A             G
I was younger once
A             G
And I created a lie
A             G
And though my body was strong
A                   G
I was self-deluded, confident and blind
 
G G Em Em7
G G Em Em7
 
[Verse 3]
G        G
Now show some pity
Em           Em7
For the weak of will
G            G
Because when we’re drinking
Em           Em7
We can never be filled
G         G
Show some understanding
Em        Em7
For the lonely fool
G            G
Because when I’m drinking
Em          Em7
I am out of control
 
[Chorus 3]
A     G
I was never young
A       G
Nothing has transpired
A          G
But when I look in the mirror
A            G
I feel dead, I feel cold,
G         G
I am blind
 
Em Em7
 
[Outro]
G    G      Em  Em7
I am blind, mmm
G    G      Em  Em7
I am blind, mmm
G    G      Em  Em7
I am blind, mmm
