[G] [C]
[G] It's [C] been years, he's [G] been here, time [Am] just lingers, and no one [F] knows.
He's got [C] eyes, he's got [G] ears, he's got all his [Am] fingers, and all his [F] toes.
This is a life [Em] of observation,
[F] maybe one day he'll [Em] get to translate this
[Am] information.
For
[F] 20 years he [Em] hasn't spoken a word,
[F] he's been silent [G] since the accident [C]
occurred.
While so many people taking tongues [G] for granted, [C] taking the truth, finding ways to [F] slam it.
I know a man who'd know what to [C] do.
And so many people can't think [G] it out, [C] just dreaming of [G] things they can't get your [F] bow.

He's in [C] touch with what he [G] feels, but he just [Am] can't say, maybe it's better [F] still.
This is a life of [Em] endless frustration, [F] he's got his pride, he's not [Em] exempt from [Am] humiliation.
[F] He can't lift a finger to [Em] stop what's wrong, [F] he can't lift a leg [G] to dance to a Beatles [C] song.
While so many people taking [G] spines for granted, [C] slithering, [G] squirming, taking what they're [F] handed.
I know a man who'd know what to [C] do.
And so many people go day [G] by day, [C] just sitting on their hands [G] constantly [F] complaining.

And

[Am]
[F]
