verse 1 
D                  Em        G 
Read your book and lose yourself 
D            A 
In another's thoughts 
D                   Em        G 
He might tell you 'bout what is 
   D    A       D 
Or even what is not 

verse 2 
    D                Em      G 
And if he's kind and gentle too 
       D                  A 
And he loves the world a lot 
    D                  Em       G 
His twilight words may melt the slush 
   D        A         D 
Of what you have been taught 
D7 

Chorus 
    G 
You know what you could be 
            D 
Tell me, my friend 
        Em            D 
Why you worry all the time? 
A         D 
 What you should been?

verse 3 
D                  Em    G 
Listen to the song of life 
    D                   A 
Its rainbow's end won't hold you 
    D                  Em       G 
Its crimson shapes and purple sounds 
D      A      D 
Softly will enfold you 

verse 4 
   D                   Em       G 
It gurgles through the timeless glade 
   D                 A 
In quarter tones of lightning 
   D         Em      G 
No policy is up for sale 
   D        A         D 
In case the truth be frightening 
D7
