[Verse 1]
E                 F#
 Sometimes I can fake a smile

              A                  B
But still the world looks down on me

E                    F#
Twenty-five years of growing old

        A                B
It just hangs in front of me

  E            F#
I can't see or understand why

A              B
Pushing up can drag me down

E               F#
Take my time in everything

   A               B
It breaks me up if I can't sing
[Chorus]
       E    F#   A       B
'Cause I--- I--- I can't see

E    F#   A          B
I--- I--- I--- can't touch
[Instrumental] |E |A |E |A A5 |E |A |B |B [Verse 2]
E                F#
Sometimes in the summer sunshine

    A                B
The sky falls down on me

E             F#
Always in the dead of dark days

A              B
Someone's after me

E                 F#
Talking fast, I'm walking backwards

       A             B
And my head is in the trees

E                 F#
You can hang this heavy feeling

A              B
Hanging down on me
[Interlude] |E5 |F#5 |A5 |B5 |E5 |F#5 |A5 |B5 [Verse 3]
E                F#
Sometimes in the summer sunshine

    A                B
The sky falls down on me

E             F#
Always in the dead of dark days

A              B
Someone's after me
