AmSummer stretching Gon the grass, Fsummer dresses Empass
AmIn the shade of a Gwillow tree, Fcreeps a crawling Emover me
AmOver me and Gover you, Fstuck together with EmGod's glue
It's Amgonna get stickiGer too, it's been a Flong hot summer
Let's get Gundercover, don't Ftry too hard to think, don't think at Gall
You're not the only Cone
Starin' at the Amsun
Afraid of what you'd Dsus2find
You took a look inFside
I'm not just deaf and Cdumb
I'm starin' at the Amsun
Not the only Dsus2one
Who's happy to go Fblind
Am   Dsus2x2
AmThere's an insect Gin your ear, iFf you scratch it Emwon't disappear
AmGonna itch and Gburn and sting, Fyou want to see what the Emscratching brings
AmWaves that leave me Gout of reach, Fbreaking on your Emback like a beach
AmWill we ever Glive in peace?
'Cause Fthose that can't do... Goften have to
No, Fthose that can't do... Goften have to preach
To the Cones
Starin' at the Amsun
Afraid of what you'd Dsus2find
You took a look inFside
I'm not just deaf and dumCb
I'm starin' at the Amsun
Not the only Dsus2one
Who's happy to go Fblind
Am   Dsus2x2
AmIntransigence is Gall around, Fmilitary Emstill in town
AmArmour plated Gsuits and ties, FDaddy just won't Emsay goodbye
AmReferee won't Gblow the whistle, FGod is good but Emwill he listen
AmI'm nearly great but there's Gsomething missing
I Fleft it in the ... Gduty free
But you Fnever really belonged to Gme
I'm not the only Cone
Starin' at the Amsun
Afraid of what you'd Dsus2find
As you step back inFside
I'm sucking on my Cthumb
Starin' at the Amsun
I'm not the only Dsus2one
Who's happy to go Fblind
Happy to go Cblind
Happy to go Amblind
Happy to go Dsus2blind
I'm happy to go, happy to go, Fhappy to go... Amblind
Am   Dsus2   Am   Dsus2(x3)
Ohh OhhOhh Ohhh Uh uh Ohhhhhhhhh...
