Summer stretching on the grass
F Em
Summer dresses pass
Am G
In the shade of a willow tree
F Em
Creeps a crawling over me
Am G
Over me and over you
F Em
Stuck together with God`s glue
Am G
It`s going to get stickier too
F
It`s been a long hot summer
G
Let`s get under the covers
F
Don`t try too hard to think
G
Don`t think at all
C
I`m not the only one
Am
Starin` at the sun
D
Afraid of what you`d find
F
If you took a look inside
C
Not just deaf and dumb
Am
Staring at the sun
D
Not the only one
F
Who`s happy to go blind
Am G F Em }x2
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
Am G
what the scratching brings
F Em
Waves that leave me out of reach
F
Breaking on your back like a beach
G
Will we ever live in peace?
F
`Cause those that can`t do often have to
C
Those that can`t do often have to preach
Am
To the ones staring at the sun
D
Afraid of what you`d find
F
If you took a look inside
C
Not just deaf and dumb
Am
Staring at the sun
D
I`m not the only one
F
Who`s happy to go blind
Am G
Intransigence is all around
F Em
Military still in town
Am G
Armour plated suits and ties
F Em
Daddy just won`t say goodbye
Am G
Referee won`t blow the whistle
F Em
God is good but will he listen
Am G
I`m nearly great
F
But there`s something I`m missing
G
I left in the duty free
F
Though you never really belonged to me
C
You`re not the only one
Am
Starin` at the sun
D
Afraid of what you`d find
F
If you stepped back inside
C
I`m not sucking my thumb
Am
I`m staring at the sun
D
Not the only one
F
Who`s happy to go blind
