E5                G#5           A5           B5 
The demands made upon you are hard to live up to  
E5              G#5      A5     B5 
It's futile to try and deny 
E5                       G#5 
And the things you hold dearly 
    A5              B5      
Are scoffed at and yearly 
E5               G#5         F#5   B5 
Judged once and then tossed aside' 
              A5 
Cause they're blind  
     F#5                       A5 
They hold you too close to the light  
F#5                      E5 
And I see what they only might  
           G#5 
If they'd learn 
            F#5         B5 
but they're letting you burn  
               E5   G#5 A5  B5 
Cause they're blind  
E5                 G#5 
To the brown-eyed beholder 
          A5          B5 
See the chip on your shoulder 
E5               G#5     A5     B5 
The fools don't want to believe  
               E5       G#5 
that you're so hard to talk to 
       A5        B5 
And so easy to read through 
E5          G#5             F#5     B5 
And nobody looks past your sleeve 
               A5 
Cause they're blind 
F#5                            A5 
They hold you too close to the light   
F#5                      E5              G#5 
And I see what they only might if they learn 
            A5           B5 
but they're letting you burn  
              E5    G#5  A5   B5 
Cause they're blind  
A5 
They only like what they can see 
 
And what they don't, they just don't agree 
E5                         E5 
If you'll run to me, run, run 
F#5 
Only like a day with him 
 
Just one day with him 
D5                 
Then you'll run back  
B5                    E5 
Then you'll run back blind 
 
SOLO 
  

A5 
An old man said to me  
 
Go  and take it easy now 
E5                      E5 
You'll run to me, run, run 
F#5 
Only like a day with him 
 
Just one day with him 
D5                 
Then you'll run back  
B5                    E5   G#5 
Then you'll run back blind 
F#5               B5              E5   G#5 
They hold you too close to the light   
F#5            B5           E5              G#5 
And I see what they only might if they learn 
            A5           B5 
but they're letting you burn  
              E5    G#5 
Cause they're blind  
A5           B5 
letting you burn  
              E5   G#5 A5 B5  E5 
Cause they're blind
