_ _ _ _ _ _ I've fought these things, I'll bet [E] you'll see, they seem to me,
_ [D] the makeup my man faces, the actors do their great races next [F#m] to me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I've fought these things, in a [E] carnival _ of sights to see,
_ [D] all the cheap thrill-seekers, vendors and the dealers [F#m] crowded around me.
_ _ [A] _ _ Have I been blind, or have I [E] been lost inside myself and my own [D] mind?
_ Hypnotized, mesmerized, by what my [F#m] eyes have [E] seen. _ _
[F#m] _ [E] _ [F#m] _ [G#] _ [F#m] _ _ I've fought these things, in a [E] spectacle of wealth and poverty,
_ _ [F#] _ [D] a diamond market, a scarlet welcome carpet, [F#m] they just rolled out for me.
_ [C#m] _ [F#m] _ _ And I've fought these things, _ [E] in the manhouse, as silent they can be,
_ [D] where a wild and mystic prophet on a traffic island stopped,
and he [F#m] _ raged, of saving me.
_ [A] _ _ _ Have I been blind, or have [E] I been lost inside myself and my own mind?
[D] _ Hypnotized, _ mesmerized, by what my [F#m] eyes have seen. _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ Have I been wrong, or [E] have I been wise, to shut my eyes and wait in awe?
[D] _ Hypnotized, paralyzed, _ by what [F#m] my eyes have found, _
[D] by what my eyes [E] have seen, _ what _ [G#] they have seen. _

_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ Have I been [E] blind, or have I been [D] lost, or have I been strong?
Have I [A] been wise, have I [E] been weak, have I [D] been strong, or have I been stoned?
[Bm] Have I [A] been hypnotized and [E] mesmerized, by what my [D] eyes have found,
by what my eyes have found, [F#m] in bed, _ [D] like a sick _ [E] carnivore? _
Have _ _ _ [A] _ _ I [E] been blind, or have I [D] been lost, or have I been [A] wise,
to shut my eyes and [E] wait _ _ [D] in awe? _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ Hypnotized, _
[E] paralyzed, by what my [D] _ _ _
eyes have seen,
[F#m] _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
what _ [F] they _ _ [F#]
have seen.
