Lyrics

I look at you all,

see the love there that’s sleep ing,

while my gui tar gen tly weeps.

I look at the floor, and I see it needs sweep ing,

still my gui tar gen tly weeps.

I don’t know (C#m7)why

no bo dy told you,

how to un fold

(B9)your (E7)love.

I don’t know (C#m7)how

some one con trolled you,

they bought and sold

(E7)you.

I look

I don’t know (C#m7)how

you were di vert ed,

you were per vert

(B9)ed (E7)too.

I don’t know (C#m7)how

you were in vert ed

no one alt

(B9)ered (E7)you.

I look at you all,

see the love there that’s sleep ing,

While my gui tar gen tly weeps.

(Am)I look at you all,

Still my gui tar gen tly weeps.
