[Intro]
Gm Gm7
Bb
Gm Gm7
[Verse 1]
Bb Now some of us are weak Gm Gm7 And some endure Bb And some people live their life Gm Gm7 In violence that’s pure and clean Bb But I saw a man cry once Gm Gm7 Down on his knees Bb In the corner of a darkened cell Gm Gm7 And his pain meant nothing to me
[Chorus 1]
C Bb But I was younger then C Bb And young men never die C Bb When I walked out in the sun C6 Bb6 Bbsus4 Bb Bsus2 I was strong, clear-minded and blind
Gm Gm7
Bbsus4 Bb Bsus2
Gm Gm7
[Verse 2]
Bb I don’t say a prayer for anyone Gm Gm7 It doesn’t do any good Bb Please don’t ask me questions Gm Gm7 They’d just be misunderstood Bb And if you could step inside me Gm Gm7 You'd feel what hatred brings Bb And if you saw with my eyes Gm Gm7 You'd see what self-deception means
[Chorus 2]
C Bb I was younger once C Bb And I created a lie C Bb And though my body was strong C6 Bb6 Bbsus4 Bb Bsus2 I was self-deluded, confident and blind
Gm Gm7
Bbsus4 Bb Bsus2
Gm Gm7
[Verse 3]
B6 Now show some pity Gm7 Gm7 For the weak of will Bb Because when we’re drinking Gm Gm7 We can never be filled Bb Show some understanding Gm Gm7 For the lonely fool Bb Because when I’m drinking Gm Gm7 I’m out of control
[Chorus 3]
C Bb I was never young C Bb Nothing has transpired C Bb But when I look in the mirror C6 Bb6 Bbsus4 Bb Bsus2 I feel dead, I feel cold, I am blind
[Outro]
Gm Gm7
Bbsus4 Bb Bsus2 I am blind, mmm
Gm Gm7
Bbsus4 Bb Bsus2 I am blind, mmm
