[Verse 1]
D                                        F              Bb                      D C A
You who thought your eyes could tell no lies,  so your life became a compromise
            D           G
And it was you who had seen men dyin'
E                  A
You heard their children cryin'
Bb                           D
While their women weep in silence

D                                F       Bb                      D C A
And you who thought you were so wise,  succeeded only in disguise
         D                  G
Now and then you'd find a bridge to cross
E                                A
Reach the other side and you'd still be lost
Bb                             D  C A
Evaded by the sweet smell of life

And the people that you try,  to show the way,   never believe you,  (never believe you) no way
D                       Db         C                B                  Ab                 D
And the people that you try,  to show the way,   never believe you,  (never believe you) no way

And the people that you try,  to show the way,   never believe you,  (never believe you) no way

And the people that you try,  to show the way,   never believe you.....no way
