Something's happenin' but I'm just

gonna turn a blind eye,
   D

questions and I hear no lies.

 are small,
                           Em      
With some people it's like talkin' 
       Bm   Em D
to the wall.
      Em         F#m   Em
And a fellow who walks away,
D               Em      F#m Em D
Lives to battle another day.
D                   G
And I've really got no appetite,
F#m          Em          A D
For a fight, not tonight.

deaf, dumb, and blind,
                        Em       
Than aggravation, every time I - 
Bm      Em     D

Keep stumm and have a quiet life.
