_ _ _ _ See the child _ _ with the golden hair [Dm] but eyes that show [F] the emptiness _ inside _
_ [G] _ _ _ Do we know, _ can we understand just how [C] he feels or have we really tried _ _
_ [C] _ _ See him now _ as he stands alone and [F] watches children play a children's game _ _
_ [G] _ _ Simple child, _ he looks almost [C] like the others yet they know he's not the _ same _
[Am] _ _ Scorn _ [Fm] not his simplicity [C] but rather try [F] to love him all the [C] more
_ _ [Am] _
_ _ Scorn _ [Fm] not his simplicity, [G]
oh no, _ [G] _ _
oh no
_ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
See him stare, not _ recognizing that kind [Dm] face that [F] only yesterday he loved
_ _ [G] _
The loving _ face _ of a mother [C] who can't understand [G] what she's been guilty of
_ _ _ [C] _
Now she cried _ _ _ tears of happiness the [F] day the doctor told her it's a boy
_ _ [Gm] _ [G] _
Now she cries _ _ tears of _ [C] helplessness and thinks of all the things he can't _ enjoy
_ _ [Am] _
Scorn _ _ [Fm] not his simplicity [C] but rather try to love him all the more
_ _ _ [Am] _ _
Scorn _ [Fm] not his simplicity, [G] oh no, _ _ _ oh no

_ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _
Only he _ _ knows how [C] to face the future, [F] hopefully _ surrounded by despair
_ _ _ [G] _
He won't _ _ ask for your pity or [C] your sympathy but surely you should _ care
_ _ [Am] _ _
Scorn _ [Fm] not his simplicity [C] but rather try to love him all the more
_ [Am] Scorn _
_ _ _ _ [Fm] not his simplicity, [G] oh no, _ _ oh _ no, _ [C] oh _ _ _ no _ _
