Theyre Blind

E                G#m           A
The demands made upon you are 
           B
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       
And I see what they only might if
       G#m
 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

G  O

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              
They hold you too close to the 
E   G#m
light
F#m            B           E    
And I see what they only might 
          G#m
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
