G D Am I took this walk to ease my mind C To find out what's gnawing at me G Wouldn't think to look at me Am Em7 C that I've spent a lot of time in education G It all seems so long ago Am Em7 C I'm a thinker, not a talker I've no-one to talk to, anyway G F I can't see the road C G for the rain in my eyes F C G Ahhh I live above the grocer's store Owned by an Austrian He often calls me down to eat And he jokes about his broken English Tries to be a friend to me But for all my years of reading conversation I stand without a word to say Chorus: I can't see the bridge For the rain in my eyes Ahhh A E Bm And the world is full of life D Full of folk who don't know me A And they walk in twos or threes or more Bm While the light that shines above D the grocer's store A Investigates my face so rudely Bm D And my essays lying scattered on the floor Fulfill their needs just by being there A G And my hands shake, my head hurts, D A my voice sticks inside my throat A G I'm invisible and dumb, D A And no-one will recall me A G And I can't see the water D Fmaj7 G A for the tears in my eyes You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Am  C  D  E  Em  Em7  F  Fm  Fmaj7  Fmaj  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
