AmI know a maFn
Who doesn't have Gmany friendsAm  
I know a placFe he lives
Where trouGble never endsEm  
AmI know its harFd for him
To rGead 'tween the linesAm  
And his dayEms are getting so much shorterAm  
AmHe simply tuFrns away
And doGns a bitter frownAm  
His world is crumFbling
His sGhip is weighted downEm  
AmHe doesn't caFre
As long as he cGan wear the crownAm  
I kEmnow this man all too wellAm  
Its my pooFr friend meG  
A portraEmyal of the great dichotomyAm  
( Areminder of  Atragic history)
Its my pooFr friend meG  
And I'm runEmning out of steamAm  
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
FLately I've come
To see the soluAmtion
And it GbegiFns witEmh meAm  
FBut I'm so fallibly humanAm  
I've pGicked the lock
But will not turn the keyEm  
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

Am F

I know a man

G Am

Who doesn't have many friends

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

He simply turns away

G Am

And dons a bitter frown

His world is crumbling

His ship is weighted down

He doesn't care

As long as he can wear the crown

( reminder of 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

Lately I've come

To see the solution

G F Em Am

And it begins with me

F Am

But I'm so fallibly human

I've picked the lock

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
