  			E                G#m           A           B 
The demands made upon you are hard to live up to  
E              G#m      A     B 
It's futile to try and deny 
E                       G#m 
And the things you hold dearly 
    A              B      
Are scoffed at and yearly 
E               G#m         F#m   B 
Judged once and then tossed aside' 
              A 
Cause they're blind  
     F#m                       A 
They hold you too close to the light  
F#m                      E 
And I see what they only might  
           G#m 
If they'd learn 
            F#m         B 
but they're letting you burn  
               E   G#m A  B 
Cause they're blind  
E                 G#m 
To the brown-eyed beholder 
          A          B 
See the chip on your shoulder 
E               G#m     A     B 
The fools don't want to believe  
               E       G#m 
that you're so hard to talk to 
       A        B 
And so easy to read through 
E          G#m             F#m     B 
And nobody looks past your sleeve 
               A 
Cause they're blind 
F#m                            A 
They hold you too close to the light   
F#m                      E              G#m 
And I see what they only might if they learn 
            A           B 
but they're letting you burn  
              E    G#m  A   B 
Cause they're blind  
A 
They only like what they can see 
 
And what they don't, they just don't agree 
E                         E7 
If you'll run to me, run, run 
F#m 
Only like a day with him 
 
Just one day with him 
D                 
Then you'll run back  
B                    E 
Then you'll run back blind 
 
SOLO 
  
A 
An old man said to me  
 
Go  and take it easy now 
E                      E7 
You'll run to me, run, run 
F#m 
Only like a day with him 
 
Just one day with him 
D                 
Then you'll run back  
B                    E   G#m 
Then you'll run back blind 
F#m               B              E   G#m 
They hold you too close to the light   
F#m            B           E              G#m 
And I see what they only might if they learn 
            A           B 
but they're letting you burn  
              E    G#m 
Cause they're blind  
A           B 
letting you burn  
              E   G#m A B  E 
Cause they're blind
