*CAPO 3rd FRET*
 
(Original Key: Bb)
 
 
Intro:
 
G  D7 (x4)
 
Verse 1:
 
       G                  D7                     G
I know so many people who think they can do it a-lone.
     G                       D7                   G
They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zones.
 
Bridge 1:
 
Bb                F7
 Now what can you tell them?
Bb                F              Em           C
 And what can you say that won't make them de-fensive?
 
Chorus 1:
 
G                  Em
 I know there's an answer,
G                Em                Am7       C/D
 I know now, but I have to find it by myself.
 
Verse 2:
 
          G
They come on like they're peaceful,
    D7                   G
But inside they're so up-tight.
     G
They trip through their day,
    D7                          G
And waste all their thoughts at night.
 
Bridge 2:
 
Bb             F7
 Now how can I come on,
Bb                 F             Em            C
 And tell them the way that they live could be better?
 
Chorus 2:
 
G                  Em
 I know there's an answer,
G                Em                Am7       C/D
 I know now, but I have to find it by myself.
 
Break: (Wind)

 And tell them the way that they live could be better?
 
Chorus 3:
 
G                  Em
 I know there's an answer,
G                Em                Am7       C/D
 I know now, but I have to find it by myself.
