[Bb] [C] Summer morning, when [Am] an old [F] friend [C] called
He said I'm gonna [F] build a [C] big house
For [Dm] all the little children
[Bb] And [F] I've sold all [C] I had
Because of [F] things I have [C] seen
There's just [F] the [Bb] good [C] and the bad
Nothing [Dm] in between
[Gm] [G] [C]
And it's not [F] for me
That I'm trying
[C] To say what [F] I mean
It's not for me
That I'm changing
[C] The way I [F] have been
And it's not for me That [F] believing
[C] Flies into [E] the light
[Dm] That will [Am] follow her [Bb] flight
[Am] [F] The
[C] saints
With their [F]
journalist [C] jive
[Am] While their [F] broadcasting [C] taints
Almost [Dm] the whole of our [Bb]
lives
[F] And the story will [C] break
As it's [F] spun into [C] few
[F] Sacrificed [C] remakes
Fit the [Dm] false world [G] through
[C]
And it's not [F] for me
That I'm trying
[C] To say what [F] I mean
It's not for me
That I'm changing
[C] The way I [F] have been

voice
We [Am] could [Bb] hold out [C] one hand
[Am] We could [G] stand side [C] by side
[D] Across this great [E] [Bb] wonderland
[F] Then our actions would [C] ring
