[Verse 1]
Bm            A            G#m               G
I look at you all, see the love there that's sleeping
Bm          A          Em  F#
While my guitar gently weeps
Bm            A           G#m           G
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Bm          A          D   F#
Still my guitar gently weeps


[Chorus]
B            D#m
I don't know why
G#m    D#m  F#
Nobody told you
C#m      C#        F#
How to unfold your love
B            D#m
I don't know how
G#m     D#m
Someone controlled you
C#m                  F#
They bought and sold you


[Verse 2]
Bm            A           G#          Gmaj7
I look at the world and I notice it's turning
Bm          A          E   F#
While my guitar gently weeps
Bm            A            G#m       G
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Bm       A             D   F#
Still my guitar gently weeps

[Chorus]
B            D#m
I don't know how
G#m      D#m
You were diverted
C#m                F#
You were perverted too
B            D#m
I don't know how
G#m      D#m
You were inverted
C#m            F#
No one alerted you


[Verse 3]
Bm            A           G#m               G
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
Bm          A          Em  F#
While my guitar gently weeps
G           A Bm
Look at you all
C           F#m7       G
Still my guitar gently weeps

[Outro]
Bm          A   G#m    G
While my guitar gently weeps

While my guitar gently weeps

Still my guitar gently weeps
