     Am               G             F                  Em
     Summer stretching on the grass, summer dresses pass
     Am               G             F                    Em
     In the shade of a willow tree creeps a crawling over me

     There are some harmonics in the background (work with these)

     Am          G         F                  Em
     Over me and over you, stuck together with GOD's glue
     Am                G
     It's going to get sticker, too

     F                         G
     It's been a long hot summer, let's get undercover
     F                     G
     Don't try too hard to think, don't think at all

     C                Am                 D
     I'm not the only one staring at the sun
     Dsus4                F                         G
     Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside
     C                 Am                  D
     Not just deaf and dumb staring at the sun
     Dsus4            F                     G
     I'm not the only one who's happy to go blind

     Am                  G
     There's an insect in your ear
            F               Em
     If you scratch it won't disappear

     Am                  G
     It's gonna itch and burn and sting
             F                       Em
     Do you want to see what the scratching brings?

     Am                G
     Waves that leave me out of reach
      F                     Em
     Breaking on your back like a beach
     Am           G
     Will we ever live in peace?
     F                      G
     Cause those that can't do often have to
     F                     G
     And those that can't do often have to

     C             Am                  D
     Preach to the ones staring at the sun
      Dsus4                 F                       G
     Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside
     C                  Am                  D
     Not just deaf and dumb staring at the sun
      Dsus4            F                  G
     I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind

     Intransigence is all around, military still in town
     Armour plated suits and ties
     Daddy just won't say goodbye
     Referee won't blow the whistle
     God is good, but will He listen?
     I'm nearly great, but there's something missing

     F             G
     I left in the duty free though
     F          G
     You never really belonged to me
     C                  Am                  D
     You're not the only one staring at the sun
      Dsus4               F                        G
     Afraid of what you'd find if you stepped back inside
     C                  Am                        D
     I'm not sucking my thumb, I'm staring at the sun
      Dsus4        F                    G
     Not the only one who's happy to go blind
