_ _ _ _ _ _ Somewhere _ there's a tree _ _
_ _ [E] _ Keeping _ all [Bbm] the _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
people at _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ its _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ feet _ _
[Em] _ [A] He _ _ _ [Bbm] doesn't care, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ [B] _ [Gb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
he just sits there
Like _ he's [Dbm] a _ [E] _ gazing at [Bbm] the _ sky
But _
[E] _ what's the reason [Am] for _ _ _ _ _ _ care?
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ [Em] _ _
The people [A] don't know [Em] why he sits [A] there and [Em] cries
They think [A] he's got a secret, [Em] but they [A] don't realize [Bm] he's just hot
[E] He's got a fly on his shoulder, [Bm] he wants to fight [E] on
But his limbs grow older, [Am] he's tired and sick
[B] And he can't walk away [Em] to find [A] some [Em] change
Like he [A] has [Em] made for other simple people
[A] [Em] He _ _ [Bm] starts to look [E] at someone [Bm] maybe in real [E] life
He'd be there to stay, [Am] it doesn't [B] matter what the people think
[Em] He just [A] wants to [Em] get out [A] of the sun
[Em] And [A] find a [Em] place where [A] he can go [Bbm] to sleep _
