Key: C
Introduction: Am Dm E Am
Am Dm
I'm a melancholy man, that's what I am,
E Am
all the world surrounds me and my feet are on the ground.
Am Dm
I'm a very lonely man, doing what I can,
E Am
all the world astounds me and I think I understand,
E Am
that we're going to keep growing, wait and see.
Am
When all the stars are falling down,
Dm
into the sea and on the ground
E Am
and angry voices carry on the wind,
Am
the beam of light will fill your head,
Dm
and you'll remember what's been said,
E Am
by all the good men this world's ever known.
Am
Another man is what you'll see,
Dm
who looks like you, and looks like me,
E Am
and yet somehow he will not feel the same.
Am
His life caught up in misery,
Dm
he doesn't think like you and me,
E Am
'cause he can't see what you and I can see.
