Verse 1:

Bb F7 Bb

I know so many people who think they can do it alone

F7 Bb

They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zone

Db Ab/Gb

Now what can you tell them

Db Ab Gm Fm Eb

And what can you say that won't make them defensive

Chorus:

Bb/F Gm

I know there's an answer

Bb/F Gm Cm7 Cm7/F

I know now but I have to find it by myself

Verse 2:

They come on like they're peaceful

But inside they're so uptight

They trip through their day

And waste all their thoughts at night

Now how can I come on

And tell them the way that they live could be better

[repeat chorus]

Wind break:
