Lyrics

[Intro]
| Am | G | F | Em |
| Am | G | F | Em |

[Verse 1]
Am
Summer stretching
  G
On the grass
F                  Em
Summer dresses pass
Am
In the shade of
  G
A willow tree
F
Creeps acrawling
 Em
Over me
Am
Over me and
 G
Over you
F
Stuck together
    Em
With  God's glue
     Am
It's gonna get
      G
Stickier too
            F
It's been a long

[Pre-Chorus]
Hot summer
Let's get
G
Undercover
      F
Don't try too
Hard to think
               G
Don't think at all
                    C
I'm not the only one

[Chorus]
                  Am
Staring at the sun
                         D
Afraid of what you'd find
                         F
If you took a look inside
                      C
Not just deaf and dumb
                  Am
Staring at the sun
                D
Not the only one
                  F    Am
Who's happy to go blind

[Pre-Verse]
             | G |
| F | Em |

[Verse 2]
Am
There's an insect
  G
In your ear
F
If you scratch it
     Em
Won't  disappear
     Am
It's gonna itch
        G
And burn and sting
       F
Do you wanna
See what the
Em
Scratching brings?
Am
Waves that leave
   G
Me out of reach
F
Breaking on your
    Em
Back  like a beach
Am          G
Will we ever
Live in peace?

[Pre-Chorus]
       F
'Cause those that
         G
Can't do often have to
    F
And those that can't do
G
Often have to preach
           C
To the ones

[Chorus]
                  Am
Staring at the sun
                         D
Afraid of what you'd find
                         F
If you took a look inside
                      C
Not just deaf and dumb
                  Am
Staring at the sun
                    D
I'm not the only one
                     F
Who'd rather go blind

[Bridge]
  Am
Intransigence
Is all around
Military's
Still in town
Armourplated
Suits and ties
Daddy just
Won't say goodbye
Referee won't
Blow the whistle
God is good but
Will he listen?
I'm nearly great
But there's
Something missing

[Pre-Chorus]
  F
I left it in
    G
The duty free
Oh, but you
F
Never really
            G
Belonged to me
You're not
            C
The only one

[Chorus]
                  Am
Staring at the sun
Afraid of
               D
What you'd find
If you stepped
           F
Back inside
I'm not sucking
           C
On my thumb
I'm staring
          Am
At the sun
                D
Not the only one
Who's happy
      F
To go blind
