Dm                  F
Look at me while I look at you
 C                Dm
Seeing eye to eye we can never do
You try to tell me what is right
I may not know a lot but I know one thing

Chorus:
                  Dm   F
If you've got the answer
                      C Dm
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just keep it your own

I wonder why our world is ablaze
Sometimes I speak aloud to hear what people have to say
I try to have an open mind
But your brain and mouth must not be connected

Chorus:
If you've got the answer
Then I don't want to know
If you've got the answer
Just leave me alone

F           C             A#
I would be patient but it takes so long
         C
I don't want all this misinformation
A#
All the words that you say

Lean on me while I lean on you
If we destroy each other
We might save a life or two
A little sun, a little shine
Separates us both by forever and a day

Chorus:
If you've got a vision
Then I don't want to see
If you've got a notion
Don't waste it on me
