_ _ _ _ Would you look up at [F] the skyline, [C] at the mortar [Em]-blocking glass, and [F] check out [D] the reflections [G] in my eyes? _
[G] You see, [C] they always used to [F] be there, [C] even when the [Em] soil was grass.
And I sang and [D] danced about the high [G] rise, _ and you were laughing _ at my helmet hat.
_ _ [F]
Laughing at my [G] torch. _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [C] Go ahead, you can laugh all you [Am] want, [C] but I got [Dm] a philosophy.
[G] _
[Dm] I'm just a peon [G] lover, and I [C] trusted my friends. _ _
_ And that's why my [Dm] philosophy, [G] it [Dm] keeps me walking when I'm [G] falling [F] down.
_ [G] _ _
_ I see that [F] there is evil, [C] and I know that there's [Em] good, [F] in the in-betweens [D] I never [F] understood. _
You [C] want to look at me, [F] I'm crazy, but I get the [Em] job done.
[F] Yeah, I'm crazy, [F#m] but I get the [F] job done. _
[G] But I [C] say, go ahead, you can laugh all [Am] you want to, but I got [Dm] a philosophy.
[G] _ [Dm] I'm just a peon [G] lover, and I [C] trusted my friends. _ _ _
[B] And that's why [Dm] my philosophy, [G] _ [Dm] it keeps me walking when I'm [G] falling down.
_ _ _ [F] _
[Am] I wish you could [E] love you guys, I [Am] did not [F#] realize, we're [Gm] having fun.
_ [C] _ [F] And I run down [G] the stairs, and I told you to [F] fly, but when you're [G] on, I'm starting to
cry, [Am] you do I.
_ _ [A#] You take _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
[Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _
[C] this all [F] for granted, [C] you take the [Em] motorbiking class, [F] you forget the [D] speech and
move the [G] stone. _ _
[C] But it's really [F] not that you can't [C] see, the forest [Em] by the trees, [F] you've never [F#m] been out
in the [F] woods alone.
[G] _ _
So you can laugh [C] all you want [Am] to, _ I [Dm] got my philosophy.
[G] _
[Dm] You can be a [G] lover, and I [C] love you, you're my friend.
_ _ She's got [Dm] no philosophy, [G] and [Dm] now it's time for the [G] song to end. _ _ _ _
