I had to listen had no choice
Dmaj7 E/D Dmaj7 [Dmaj7]

VERSE
A E/A A A [A]
To keep in silence I resigned
A E/A A A ´ [F#m]
My friends would think I was a nut
F#m E/F# F#m [F#m]
Turning water into wine
F#m E/F# F#m [A]
Open doors would soon be shut
A E/A A A [A]
So I went from day to day
A E/A A A [F#m]
Tho' my life was in a rut
F#m E/F# F#m [F#m]
'Till I thought of what I'd say

Which connection I should cut
Dmaj7 E/D Dmaj7 [Dmaj7]
I was feeling part of the scenery
Dmaj7 E/D Dmaj7 [Dmaj7/B]
I walked right out of the machinery
Dmaj7/B E/B Dmaj7/B

F#m E/F# F#m [A]
When I think that I am free
A E/A A A [A]
Watched by empty silhouettes

Who close their eyes, but still can see
