[B] [Ab]
[Dbm] Please beware of them that [Ab] stare, they'll only smile to see you while you're [B] time [Ab] away.
[Dbm] Once you've seen what day you've [Ab] been to and they ask just once, say [B] what's your night
or your [Abm] day?
Oh [B] yeah, [Abm] what I say.
[Dbm] Look around you, find the [Ab] ground is not so far from where you [B] are.
Don't be [Abm] too wise.
[Dbm] For down below they'll never [Ab] grow, they're always tired and trying to hide.
[B] From out of [Abm] their eyes, [B] never [Ab] a surprise.
[Db]
Take your time and you'll be fine, say a prayer for people there [E] who live on one [Gb] floor.
[Db]
And if you see what's meant to be, don't name the day or try to [E] say up and fall.
[Db] [A]
[Bm] [Abm]
[Dbm] Don't be shy, learn [Ab] to fly and see the sun when day is done.
[B] If only [Abm] you see [Dbm] just what you are beneath the [Ab] star that came to say when rain or day
[B] and autumn [Abm] for free.
Just [B] be what [Ab] you'll be.

[Db]
Open up the broken carpet, goodly sin sun shining.
[E]
Yes, that's [Gb] the day.
And [Db]
open wide the hymns you hide, you find renown while people [E] frown.
The things that you [Gb] say, [E]
say what you [Gb] say.
[B]
About [Abm] the farmers and the friends, [B]
and the things [Ab] behind the sun.
[Bm]
And the people [Ab] around your head, [B]
who say [Abm] everything's been said.
[Bm] The [Abm] movement in your brain [B]
sends you [Ab] out into the rain.
