[Verse 1]
Dm                                F       Dm
  You can a look a hurricane right in the eye
Dm                   F        Dm
  1200 people dead or left to die
Dm                                Bb         Dm                Dm
  Follow the leaders, were it an eye for an eye you'd all be blind,
                               Bb           Dm         A
Deaf or murdered, of this I'm sure in these uncertain times
[Chorus]
Dm                               Fmaj7
  So come pull the sheet over my eyes
                  Bb
So I can sleep tonight
    Dm            C
Despite what I've seen today
Dm                          Fmaj7                   Bb
   I found you guilty of a crime, of sleeping at a time
           Dm             C
When you should have been wide awake
-- [Intro]
[Verse 2]
Dm                             F         Dm
  Down on the road the world is floating by
Dm                       F       Dm
  The poor and undefended left behind
Dm                                         Bb
  While you're somewhere trading lives for oil
          Dm                A
As if the whole world were blind
[Chorus]
Dm                               Fmaj7
  So come pull the sheet over my eyes
