Verse 1
They m[F]ocked me when I was si[Bb]nging the songs
Trying to [F]get back to something more s[Bb]imple than we have
They [Bb]mocked me cos I to[C]ld it like it[F] was[Bb]
[F]Wrote about disapp[Bb]ointment and greed
Wrote a[F]bout what we really didn't ne[Bb]ed in our lives
Make us f[C]eel alive and [F]whole

[Bb]Illusions and pipe [C]dreams on the one hand[F]
