Dm
Dm   C                Dm 
You whisper by with your mind in your eye
G              Bb
Seeing nothing that's there 
C                         D 
But the bones of the bare dying thoughts
C                       F      E D
That would stare in your eyes

Dm

Dm              C    
I know nice men who have nothing to say
Dm     Bb 
Except "What a nice day, 
C           Bb 
May I say that today's a nice day 
Dm 
Cos I've nothing to say."

F               Am 
But the peace of mind is peace of mind
            Dm 
And eye, a gift to all
F              Dm   
But the things I see I see with mind
C         Dm      C    Dm 
And don't observe with eyes

F Dm 
Em Dm 
Dm           C                Dm 
Erudite eyes always bore me to cry
Bb              Gm 
And the raining that flows 
C               
Is the pure salty drain 
Dm            Bb          DM 
On the peace which I hold in my mind

F               Dm        Am        
But the peace of mind is peace of mind
Dm 
And I a gift to all
 F             Dm            Am 
But the things I see I see with mind
G                D 
And don't observe with eyes
