Well somebodies something was left in a room
Am                            C         G
And now that its gone well of course we assume

Feed the fool
C G            Am
A piece of the pie
C      G           Am
Make a fool of his system
C      G           Am
Make a fool of his mind
C        G          Am
Give him bottles of lies
C         G       Am
And maybe he'll find
C   G        Am
His place in heaven

Cause he might just die

Well, it all, it all just seems to change
C   C/B           Am
But hanging on is easy
Dm                G
When you've got a friend to call
Dm                   G
When nothings making sense at all
Dm                  G                    C    C/B
You're not the only one that's afraid of change
Am      C   G
