Am G Summer stretching on the grass, F Em Summer dresses pass Am G In the shade of a willow tree, F Em Creeps a crawling over me Am G Over me and over you, F Em Stuck together with God`s glue Am G It`s going to get stickier too, F It`s been a long hot summer G Let`s get undercover, F G Don`t try too hard to think, Don`t think at all Chorus: C I`m not the only one Am Starin` at the sun D Afraid of what you`d find F You step back inside C You're not just deaf and dumb Am Staring at the sun D You're not the only one F Who`s happy to go blind There's an insect in your ear If you scratch it won't disappear It's gonna itch and burn and sting Do you wanna see what the scratching brings? Waves that leave me out of reach Breaking on your back like a beach Will we ever live in peace? Cause those that can't do often have to And those that can't do often have to preach Chorus: To the ones Staring at the sun Afraid of what you'll find If you took a look inside Not just deaf and dumb Staring at the sun I'm not the only one Who'd rather go blind Intransigence in all around Military's still in town Armour plated suits and ties Daddy just won't say goodbye Referee won't blow the whistle God is good but will he listen? I'm nearly great but there's something missing I left it in the duty free Oh, though you never really belonged to me Chorus: You're not the only one Staring at the sun Afraid of what you'd find If you stepped back inside I'm not sucking my thumb Staring at the sun Not the only one Who's happy to go blind You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  D  Em  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
