I'm a melancholy man,
[F#m] that's all what I am.
[G#] All the world surrounds me and [C#m] my feet are on the ground.
I'm a very lonely man,
[F#m] doing what I can.
[G#] All the world astounds me and [C#m] I think I understand.
That we're [G#] going to keep growing, wait [C#m] and see.
When all the stars are falling [F#m] down into the sea.
And I'm around [G#] an axe carried on [C#m] the wind.
A beam of light will fill your [F#m] head and you'll remember what's been said.
[G#] By all the good men this world's [C#m] ever known.
Another man is what [F#m] you'll see, who looks like you and looks like me.
[G#] And yet somehow he will not feel [C#m] the same.
His life got dumped in misery, he doesn't think like you and me.
[G#] Cause he can't see what you and I [C#m] can see.
