Am       	  G
Summer stretching on the grass
F	       Em
Summer dresses pass
Am	 	G
In the shade of willow tree
F		    Em
Creeps are crawling over me
Am	    G
Over me and over you
F	       Em
Stuck together with Gods glue
Am	       G
It's gonna get stickier too
F
It's been a long hot summer
	  G
Let's get under cover
      F					  G
Don't try to hard to think don't think at all

		 C		     Am
I'm not the only one, staring at the sun
		     D			     G
Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside
		      C
I'm not just deaf and dumb
		   Am
I'm staring at the sun
                 D		       G
I'm not the only one who's happy to go blind

Am		   G
There's and insect in your ear,
F		  Em
If you scratch it won't disappear
     Am		    G
It's gonna itch and burn and sting,
    F		       Em
You wanna see what the scratching brings
Am		    G
Waves that leave me out of reach
F		 Em
Breaking on your back like the beach
Am	    G
Will we ever live in peace?
       F		    G
'Cause those that can't do, often have to
    F		        G
and those that can't do often have to preach


       C		    Am
to the ones, staring at the sun
		      D
afraid of what you'll find
       		   G
if you took a look inside
		  C		     Am
not just deaf and dumb...staring the sun
		 D		     G
I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind

Am		 G     F          Em
Transigience all around, military still in town
Am	      G           F                 Em
armour plated suited ties, daddy just won't say goodbye
Am	      G			F		Em
referee won't blow the whistle, God is good but will he listen
Am   		     G
I'm nearly great but there's something
F		 G
I left it in the duty free
	   F			    G
though you never really belonged to me

		 C		     Am
I'm not the only one, staring at the sun
		     D			     G
Afraid of what you'd find if you took a look inside
		  C
I'm sucking on my thumb
		   Am
I'm staring at the sun
                 D		       G
I'm not the only one who's happy to go blind
