[C#m] [F#m]
[G#] [C#m]
[F#m]
[G#] [C#m]
I'm a melancholy man, [F#m] that's what I am.
[G#] All the world surrounds me [C#m] and my feet are on the ground.
I'm a very lonely man, [F#m] doing what I can.
[G#] All the world astounds me [C#m] and I think I understand.
That we're [G#] going to keep growing, [C#m] wait and see.
When all the stars are falling [F#m] down into the sea,
And on the [G#] ground, and angry voices carry [C#m] on the wind.
A beam of light will fill your [F#m] head, and you'll remember [C#m] what's been [G#] said.
By all the good men this world's [C#m] ever known.
Another man is what you'll see, [F#m] who looks like you and looks like me.
[G#] And yet somehow, he will not feel [C#m] the same.
His life caught up in misery, [F#m] he doesn't think like you and me.
[G#] Cause he can't see what you and I [C#m] can see.
[C#] When all [C#m] the [F#] [A]
[G#] stars [C#m]
[F#] [A]
[G#] [C#] are falling down into [C#m] [F#] [A]
[G#] [C#m]
[C#] [F#]
[C#m] [G#] [E] the sea,
[C#m] And [F#m]
[G#] on the ground, and angry voices carry [C#m] on the wind.
A beam of light will fill your [F#m] head, and you'll remember [C#] what's been [G#] said.
By all the good men this [C#m] world's ever known.
Another man is what you'll [F#m] see, who looks like [D#] you and looks like [G#] me.
And yet somehow, he will not [C#m] feel the same.
His life caught up in misery, [F#m] he doesn't think like [C#m] you and [G#] me.
Cause he can't see what you and [C#m] I can see.
I'm a melancholy man, [F#m]
[G#] what surrounds me and [C#m] my feet.
And on the ground, I'm a very lonely man.
[F#m] But [C#m]
[G#] the stars we have [C#m] are bright, I understand [C#]
that we're going to [G#] keep going.
[C#m] And see, that all the [F#m] stars are [E] [F#m]
[G#] [C#m] bright, the beam of light.
