[Verse 1]
Am        Ab+5        C/G    Gbm7-5
   If the people only knew

              Fmaj7
If they could visualize

     D7
Just open their eyes

Am      Ab+5            C/G    Gbm7-5
   Even stop to think a bout

              Fmaj7
If they could open their minds

     D7
They could get beyond

[Verse 2]
Am           Ab+5         C/G    Gbm7-5
   Could the people under stand

             Fmaj7
In all their whispered screams

    D7
And colorless dreams

Am            Ab+5           C/G   Gbm7-5
   Could they finally compre hend

              Fmaj7
If they could suddenly see

    D7
And suddenly feel
