Akkorde Staring at the sun


Intro:  Am - G  - F - Em (2x)

Verse 1:
Am                      G                F                       Em
Summer stretching on the grass summer dresses pass
Am                    G               F                            Em
In the shade of a willow tree creeps are crawling over me
Am               G           F                      Em
Over me and over you stuck together with God's glue
Am                  G
It's going to get stickier too
F                                                      G
It's been a long hot summer... let's go undercover
F                                              G
Don't try to hard to think... don't think at all

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

Verse 2:
Am                   G              F                                Em
There's an insect in your ear if you scratch it won't disappear
Am                      G                
It's gonna itch and burn and sting
  F                                     Em
Do you want to see what the scratching brings
Am                          G                
Waves that leave me out of reach
F                         Em
Breaking on your back like a beach
Am              G                
Will you 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

Refrain:
          C                          Am
To the ones staring at the sun
                               D                                F
Afraid of what you'll find if you took a look inside
                           C                         Am
Not just deaf and dumb staring at the sun
                        D                             F
I'm not the only one who'd rather go blind
Am - D - Dsus4 (4x)


Verse 3:
Am                  G             F                   Em
Intransigence is all around military still in town
Am                 G                 F                         Em
Armour plated suits and 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 I'm missing 
F                        G
I left in the... duty free
F                                       G
You never really... belonged to me

Refrain:
                             C                         Am
You're not the only one staring at the sun
                        D                                  F
Afraid of you'd find if you stepped back inside
                            C                                  Am
I'm not sucking my thumb I'm staring at the sun
                    D                                F
Not the only one who's happy to go blind

Outro: Am - D ....
