[E]The demands made [G#m]upon you are h[A]ard to live [B]up to
[E]It's futile to [G#m]try and d[A]eny[B]
[E]And the things you hold [G#m]dearly
Are [A]scoffed at and [B]yearly
[E]Judged once and [G#m]then tossed [F#m]aside'[B]
Cause they're [A]blind
They [F#m]hold you too close to the [A]light
[F#m]And I see what they only [E]might
If they'd l[G#m]earn
but they're [F#m]letting you [B]burn
Cause they're b[E]lind[G#m] [A][B]
[E]To the brown-eyed [G#m]beholder
See the ch[A]ip on your [B]shoulder
[E]The fools don't [G#m]want to [A]believ[B]e
that you're so [E]hard to [G#m]talk to
And so [A]easy to r[B]ead through
[E]And nobody [G#m]looks past your [F#m]sleeve[B]
Cause they're b[A]lind
[F#m]They hold you too close to the [A]light
[F#m]And I see what they only [E]might if they l[G#m]earn
but they're [A]letting you [B]burn
Cause they're [E]blind[G#m] [A][B]
[A]They only like what they can see

And what they don't, they just don't agree
[E]If you'll run to me, run, [E7]run
[F#m]Only like a day with him

Just one day with him
[D]Then you'll run back
[B]Then you'll run back [E]blind

SOLO

[A]An old man said to me

Go and take it easy now
[E]You'll run to me, run, [E7]run
[F#m]Only like a day with him

Just one day with him
[D]Then you'll run back
[B]Then you'll run back [E]blin[G#m]d
[F#m]They hold you too [B]close to the li[E]ght [G#m]
[F#m]And I see what [B]they only mi[E]ght if they lea[G#m]rn
but they're [A]letting you [B]burn
Cause they're [E]blind[G#m]
[A]letting you [B]burn
Cause they're [E]blin[G#m]d[A][B][E]
