Where the eyes of fools, he said, [Eb] you see the state [Bb] you're in.
[F] Still [Bb] you stumble [Eb] through [Bb] your stupid [F] life.
[D] Still you laugh [G] and pray.
[Bb] Like a bond on a winding road [Eb] that [G] only leads [C] you down.
[Am] Blind to [Bb] the dangers [F] and [Bb] dismay.
[Eb] But why [C] the innocent [D] smile [Gm] away [F] from [Eb] a face of [F] a laughing [Bb] cloud.
And I see you, you [F] are acting like [Gm] a fool again.
In [Eb] a world of fears [Bb] always to run [F] you down.
And [Bb] I see you, they [F] are waiting till [Gm] you make the first [Eb] mistake.

[Eb] [F]
[Bb] Standing round in your juggler's gown, [Eb] there seems [G] no reason [Cm] why.

[Eb] Oh, what [F] a fool, [Bb] not I.
Imbecile, you [F] can call me that as [Gm] we feel the need.
But [F] life [Eb] is short and I [Bb] am living while [F] I can.
If [Bb] it rains, I'll [F] get wet, but in [Gm] the sunshine I'll [Eb] be dry.
And [E] if you look [F] foolish, just cause [Bb] I laugh, [Eb] don't call me [F] an [Bb] imbecile.
