   He only wants to get you out of your       mind
E                                       F#7                
   Offer sweet resistance don’t be un -      kind

     When I was a boy I rode on his       back
F#7/A        F#7                  F#7                               
       Now I       ask myself the      question
         F#              A                 F#                  
There’s     no way, I’m     leaving this,     pony ride 
F#                C#m                                        
    In the midday       tournament
          A               F#                               
I should     never com –       plain again 
F#                        A                F#                  
    Thoughts spread like     vines tangled      up inside
      B                 F#                                 
They     all decide to      find a place
F#              E                     B                F#          
    If you can     hear the circuits     jam I cannot      tell/


F#sus4                                     F#                  
        To the top of the hill I dig in my      heels
F#sus4                                           F#        A -      
        And I whisper gently to the lord of the     fields 
F#sus4                                            F#           
        And I listen closely to the sound of the      bees 
A          F#sus4                                              
    But I          fear my nature has lost me


F#                  E/Ab             F#                            
     Some days I’d        rather be      mystified
      F#                 E/Ab                                 
Than      understanding        part of it
                          F#              F#

      B                 F#                                 
They     all decide to      find a place
         E                     B                F#
