  Verse:
  GSo good at Cdoing Gwhat you don't Cdo
  GJust trying to proEmtect yourself  And Cother fools like Dyou
  GSo well Cpracticed Gin your deCceit
  Behind the Ghigh walls of Emstupidity, your Cendless conDceit
  Behind the locked doors, the sleeping dog you beat
  I hope I see the day she satisfies her teeth
  Give back to the native the treaty land
  what you preach you preachfor others, why don't you practise that
first hand
  Bridge:
  EmAnd I just don't Gunderstand Amthis world of mCine
  EmI must be Gout of step or Amout Bmof Cmy Dmind
  And will the profits of destruction forever make your eyes blind
  Do you bow to the corporations 'cause they pay their bills on time
  God bless Elijah with the feather in his hand
  Stop stealing the Indian land
  Stop stealing the Indian land
  Stop Stealing the Indian land.

  Intro: G  
  GStarted out so Dsimple
  EmEverything so Cinnocent and Gplain
  GShe was in a Ddoorway
  And EmI was walking Cnowhere down the Gmain
  She Dwhispered something softly
  And Cstepped into the Glight
  DCan you help me out she said
  I'm a Clittle lost toGnight
  GOne day Dlove just Chits you with a Gflash
  GLights go off Daround you like Csome photoGgraph
  She said her bags were stolen
  All they left her was the camera on her arm
  She told me she was new in town
  Only two weeks off the farm
  Why did I believe her
  Heaven only knows
  She looked into my eyes
  And my resolution goes
  One day love just hits you with a flash
  Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph
  Bridge:
  EmPictures of two fools Dlaughing at the world
  CSmiling as only good luck Gdoes
  EmTruth is you're not even Dlooking at me girl
  AmAll the time I was falling
  CYou kept on stalling
  AmSizing up how big a fool I Dwas
  Woke up in the morning
  I don't think that I had been asleep too long
  The room was dark and empty
  I could see that all my clothes and money were gone
  I've run out of excuses
  And people I can blame
  If she ever asked me too
  I'd do it all again
  One day love just hits you with a flash
  Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph

G C G C

So good at doing what you don't do

G Em C D

Just trying to protect yourself And other fools like you

G C G C

So well practiced in your deceit

G Em C D

Behind the high walls of stupidity, your endless conceit

Behind the locked doors, the sleeping dog you beat

I hope I see the day she satisfies her teeth

Give back to the native the treaty land

first hand

Bridge:

And I just don't understand this world of mine

Em G Am Bm C D

I must be out of step or out of my mind

And will the profits of destruction forever make your eyes blind

Do you bow to the corporations 'cause they pay their bills on time

God bless Elijah with the feather in his hand

Stop stealing the Indian land

Key: A (Capo on 2nd fret. Chords shown for key of G.)

Intro:

G D

Started out so simple

Em C G

Everything so innocent and plain

G D

She was in a doorway

Em C G

And I was walking nowhere down the main

She whispered something softly

C G

And stepped into the light

Can you help me out she said

C G

I'm a little lost tonight

G D C G

One day love just hits you with a flash

G D C G

Lights go off around you like some photograph

She said her bags were stolen

All they left her was the camera on her arm

She told me she was new in town

Only two weeks off the farm

Why did I believe her

Heaven only knows

She looked into my eyes

And my resolution goes

One day love just hits you with a flash

Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph

Bridge:

Em D

Pictures of two fools laughing at the world

C G

Smiling as only good luck does

Em D

Truth is you're not even looking at me girl

All the time I was falling

You kept on stalling

Am D

Sizing up how big a fool I was

Woke up in the morning

I don't think that I had been asleep too long

The room was dark and empty

I could see that all my clothes and money were gone

I've run out of excuses

And people I can blame

If she ever asked me too

I'd do it all again

One day love just hits you with a flash

Leaves you staring blindly like some photograph
