Verse 1:
F*                 Eb*
    And if I could hold you,
                  F*
Where would you belong.
                Eb*
Sitting here to reason,
                     F*
Now the world's gone wrong.
               Eb*
And if I could listen,
                      F*
To half the words you say,
                   Eb
Would your pathway glisten,
                     F
And help you on your way________.

Chorus:
              Eb
Oh you got it bad,
                            F
But you never should expect cover,
               Eb
Boy you got it so bad,
               F       Eb
Worse than any other________.

Verse 2:
If I was in your shoes,
Would it be the same?
Would you sit in silence,
While I dish out the blame?
But if the world was laughing,
Would you close your ears?
There is no creed or chancing,
To make the world more clear________.
   [chorus]
   [twiddly guitar bit — just play the F*/Eb* along
    with their 'sus4' chords pretty quickly.]

Verse 3:
If I brought you flowers,
Would you watch them grow?
Springtime is for certain,
To follow on the snow.
And if I could hold you,
Where would you belong,
Sitting here to reason,
Now the world's gone wrong________.
   [chorus]
   [intro riff (x3)]
