3  -3” -3’ -3’ 4  3  3   2   -2”   -2   2  -1  1  1 1

I know so   many people who think they can do it alone

 3    5 5 5    6    -5    4   5   -5  -4    4 -4  3  2

They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zo-ne

-3’  6   -6’  6   -5   -3’

Now what can you tell them

-3’  6   -6’  6  -5   -4   -5    5    4    -4 -3” -5 4

And what can you say that won't make them de-fen-si-ve

6  6     5     6  -6 5 -4 4

I know there's an ans-w-e-r

6   6   5   6 -7  7  -6  6   5  -5  4 4 -3”

I know now but I had to find it by my-se-lf

 

 3   -3”  -3’ -3’   4      3   3

They come on like they're peaceful

 2  -2” -2   2     -1  1  1

But inside they're so uptight

 3    5      5      6    -5

They trip through their day

 4    5   -5   -4      4     -4  3 2

And waste all their thoughts at ni-ght

-3’  6  -6’ 6  -5  -3’

Now how can I come on

-3’  6    -6’  6  -5   -4   -5   5     4   -4 -3” -5 4

And tell them the way that they live could be bett-e-r

 

6  6     5     6  -6 5 -4 4

I know there's an ans-w-e-r

6   6   5   6 -7  7  -6  6   5  -5  4 4 -3”

I know now but I had to find it by my-se-lf

 

-3’  6  -6’ 6  -5  -3’

Now how can I come on

-3’  6    -6’  6  -5   -4   -5   5     4   -4 -3” -5 4

And tell them the way that they live could be bett-e-r

 

6  6     5     6  -6 5 -4 4

I know there's an ans-w-e-r

6   6   5   6 -7  7  -6  6   5  -5  4 4 -3”

I know now but I had to find it by my-se-lf

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
