Chords

fron the album Don't Tell a Soul [Intro]
      A    C#m     D       E
(3…4)  Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

A    C#m     D    E
 Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
[Verse]
      A           C#m
The demands made upon you

    D            E
are hard to live up to

     A         C#m       D   E
It's futile to try and deny

        A               C#m
And the things you hold dearly

    D              E
Are scoffed at and yearly

A               C#m        E
Judged once and then left aside
[Chorus]
              D
Cause they're blind

     B7                        D
They hold you too close to the light

B7
And I see what they

     A               C#m
Only might if they'd learn

            Bm         E
but they're letting you burn

              A
Cause they're blind

     C#m     D       E
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
[Verse]
       A            C#m
To the brown-eyed beholder

        D            E
See the chip on your shoulder

    A          C#m       D     E
The fools ever want to believe

            A          C#m
that you're so hard to talk to

       D       E
And so easy to read through

    A      C#m             E
Yet nobody looks past your sleeve
[Chorus]
               D
Cause they're blind

     B7                        D
They hold you too close to the light

B7
And I see what they

     A             C#m
only might if they learn

            D           E
but they're letting you burn

              A    C#m  D   E
Cause they're blind
[Bridge]
     D
They only like what they can see

    D
And what they can’t, they just can't agree

          A               A7
If you'll run to me, run, run

D
Only like a day with her

D
Only like a date with her

G
Then you'll run back

E                    A
Then you'll run back blind
[Solo] A C#m D E A C#m D E A C#m D E A C#m E E [Chorus]
              D
Cause they're blind

     B7                        D
They hold you too close to the light

    B7
And I see what they

     A               C#m
Only might if they'd learn

            D           E
but they're letting you burn

              A       A
Cause they're blind
[Bridge]
   D
An old man said to me

D
Go home and take it easily

    A               A7
And run to me, run, run

D
Only like a date with her

D
Only one more day with her

G
Then I’ll run back

E                   D
Then we’ll run back Blind

     B7                        D
They hold you too close to the light

    B7
And I see what they

     A             C#m
only might if they learn

            D           E
but they're letting us burn

              A    C#m  D E
Cause they're blind
[Outro]
A     C#m     D       E
  Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (repeat and fade)
