G D A (wave your wand 'til your dreams come true) A D I'm high on illusion G D A Like a fool who is truly in love A D Whose act of suspension G D A Only proves there are wires above A D Now you can see the ways things are G A You can't pretend you're blind A D You can't have a change of heart G A Before you change your mind Give me a reason Or give me a rhyme, One man's high treason Is another's victimless crime We say we want justice To be blind and binding on all But nobody wants it On their heads where the sword must fall E D A E D A Why is everybody laughing at me? E D A E D A Why is everybody happy but me? I wait for a mountain That won't ever come, I feel just like Mohammed (and perhaps a little bit dumb) Others go climb it You ask them why, they reply "'cause it's there!" But me and my mountain We're not getting, getting nowhere A D G D A Why is everybody laughing at me? Why is everybody happy but me? While I was standing here I got this wild idea I thought everyone was laughing at me A D G D A Now you see the way things are You can't pretend you're blind You can't have a change of heart Before you change your mind Now you see the way things are You can't pretend, Pretend that you're blind A D G D A [twice] Stop talking, start walking! Do something more than moving your mouth [three times] Stop talking, start walking! Do something! A D G D A [four times] Copyright EMI Music Publishing; reprinted with kind permission.
