[Intro]: Am G F E Am G F E
[Verse 1]:
Am G F E
Summer stretching on the grass summer dresses pass
Am G F E
In the shade of a willow tree creeps are crawling over me
Am G F E
Over me and over you stuck together with God's glue
Am G
It's going to get stickier too
F G
It's been a long hot summer... let's go undercover
F G
Don't try to hard to think... don't think at all
[Chorus 1]:
C Am
I'm not the only one staring at the sun
D F
Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside
C Am
Not just deaf and dumb I'm staring at the sun
D F
Not the only one who's happy to go blind
Am D Am D
[Verse 2]:
There's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear
It's gonna itch and burn and sting
Do you want to see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will you ever live in peace ?
Cause those that can't do... often have to
And those that can't do... often have to preach
[Chorus 2]:
To the ones staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb staring at the sun
I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind
Am D Am D
[Verse 3]:
Intransigence is all around military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties daddy just won't say goodbye
Referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will He listen
I'm nearly great but there's something I'm missing
I left in the... duty free
You never really... belonged to me
[Chorus 2]:
You're not the only one staring at the sun
Afraid of you'd find if you stepped back inside
I'm not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one who's happy to go blind
[Outro]: Am D Am D Am D Am D
