[G]
[Gm]
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.
[E] You're gonna make [F] it, that's why [Bb] I've [Eb] always called you [F] an [Bb] imbecile.
[Eb] [D]
[G] [F]
[G] You weren't [Gm] always a [Eb] sorcerer, you could then [Bb] reply.
[F] It seems [Bb] to me [Eb] you've learned [Bb] it all [F] the way.
[D] You live by some [Gm] sad lies.
[Eb] [F]
[Bb] Standing round in your juggler's gown, [Eb] there seems [G] no reason [Cm] why.
[F] Watching [Bb] your eyes [F] and carefully [Bb] swell, [Eb] with candles [Em] inside and [D] magic [Gm] [F] bells.
[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.

[F] It [G] is deep over I've felt the [Gm] [Eb] sorcerer and both of us [Bb] are gone.
[F] Although we walk [Bb] this road, [Eb] we don't [Bb] know where [F] it is.
[D] We only know [Gm] it's long.
[F] [Bb] You have some things to learn from me, [Eb] but I [G] can learn [Cm] from you.
[F] You with [Bb] your jokes [F] and [Bb] simple plans, [Eb] and me with [C] my [D] flexer-type [Gm] of [F] hands.
[Eb] Together [F] we could [Bb] get through.
Imbecile, we [F] are dancing down [Gm] a darkened road.
Though [Eb] the stars are out, [Bb] not one of us knows [F] the way.
[Bb] Imbecile, up [F] ahead of us [Gm] and millions more [Eb] behind.
And [E] they're laughing and smiling, [F] that's why [Bb] I say [Eb] we're all of [F] us [Bb] imbeciles.
Imbecile, we are [C] dancing down [G] a darkened road.
Though the [Eb] stars are out, not [Bb] one of us knows the [F] way.
[Bb]
Imbecile, up [Cm] ahead of us [Gm] and millions [F] more [Eb] behind.
And [Em] we're laughing and smiling, [F] that's why I [Bb] say [Eb] we're all of [F] us [Gm]
imbeciles.
