[ Предположительная тональность: Am ] Am F I know a man G Am Who doesn't have many friends F I know a place he lives G Em Where trouble never ends Am F I know its hard for him G Am To read 'tween the lines Em Am And his days are getting so much shorter Am F He simply turns away G Am And dons a bitter frown F His world is crumbling G Em His ship is weighted down Am F He doesn't care G Am As long as he can wear the crown Em Am I know this man all too well F G Its my poor friend me Em Am A portrayal of the great dichotomy (A reminder of A tragic history) F G Its my poor friend me Em Am And I'm running out of steam I know there are people Who are cynical and vain They point their finger 'cuz they can't accept the blame They live their lives Under a blanket of shame and their progeny Crawl from underneath it F Lately I've come Am To see the solution G F Em Am And it begins with me F Am But I'm so fallibly human G I've picked the lock Em But will not turn the key Of people running scared We live, breathe and die Off to a world, our time is slipping on by We have solutions, but don't even try And I feel I know just who to blame
