Am G Summer stretching on the grass F Em Summer dresses pass Am G In the shade of a willow tree F Em Creeps a crawling over me Am G Over me and over you F Em Stuck together with Godʼs glue Am G Itʼs going to get stickier too F Itʼs been a long hot summer G Letʼs get under the covers F Donʼt try too hard to think G Donʼt think at all C Iʼm not the only one Am Starinʼ at the sun D Afraid of what youʼd find F If you took a look inside C Not just deaf and dumb Am Staring at the sun D Not the only one F Whoʼs happy to go blind Am G F Em x2 Am G Thereʼs an insect in your ear F Em If you scratch it wonʼt disappear Am G Itʼs gonna itch and burn and sting F Em Do you want to see Am G what the scratching brings F Em Waves that leave me out of reach F Breaking on your back like a beach G Will we ever live in peace? F ʼCause those that canʼt do often have to C Those that canʼt do often have to preach Am To the ones staring at the sun D Afraid of what youʼd find F If you took a look inside C Not just deaf and dumb Am Staring at the sun D Iʼm not the only one F Whoʼs happy to go blind Am G Intransigence is all around F Em Military still in town Am G Armour plated suits and ties F Em Daddy just wonʼt say goodbye Am G Referee wonʼt blow the whistle F Em God is good but will he listen Am G Iʼm nearly great F But thereʼs something Iʼm missing G I left in the duty free F Though you never really belonged to me C Youʼre not the only one Am Starinʼ at the sun D Afraid of what youʼd find F If you stepped back inside C Iʼm not sucking my thumb Am Iʼm staring at the sun D Not the only one F Whoʼs happy to go blind
