*CAPO 3rd FRET*

(Original Key: Bb)


Intro:

G  D7 (x4)

Verse 1:

       G                  D7                     G
I know so many people who think they can do it a-lone.
     G                       D7                   G
They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zones.

Bridge 1:

Bb                F7
 Now what can you tell them?
Bb                F              Em           C
 And what can you say that won't make them de-fensive?

Chorus 1:

G                  Em
 I know there's an answer,
G                Em                Am7       C/D
 I know now, but I have to find it by myself.

Verse 2:

          G
They come on like they're peaceful,
    D7                   G
But inside they're so up-tight.
     G
They trip through their day,
    D7                          G
And waste all their thoughts at night.

Bridge 2:

Bb             F7
 Now how can I come on,
Bb                 F             Em            C
 And tell them the way that they live could be better?

Chorus 2:

G                  Em
 I know there's an answer,
G                Em                Am7       C/D
 I know now, but I have to find it by myself.
