G D# F G
I know a man who doesn't have many friends,
G D# F C
I know a place where he lives where trouble never ends,
G D# F G
I know it's hard for him to read 'tween the lines,
D F G D# G D# F
and his day are getting so much shorter,

G D# F G
he simply turns away instead of bearing down,
G D#
his ship is crumbling,
F C
his crew is one of the clowns,
G D# F G
he doesn't care as long as he can wear the crown,
D F G
I know this man all too well,

D# F
it's my poor friend me,
D G
a portrayal of the great dichotomy
(a reminder of a tragic history),
D# F
it's my poor friend me
D G D# G D# F
and I'm running out of steam

I know there are people who are cynical and vane,
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,

D# A#
lately I've come to see the solution,
F G
and it begins with me,
D# A#
but I'm so fallibly human,
F D
I've picked the lot, but will not turn the key
