E         A       B          E                        
What if I fell in love with you
          A      B       E
Just like normal people do 
     A         E           F#m   B      E
Well maybe I'd kill you or maybe I'd be true 
E         A             B          E
When I go down to get a job sometimes
         A          B       E
It seems people can read my mind 
            A           E                 F#m     B         E
And make my money disappear while they're talking sweet and kind 
        A    E        A      E     A         E        A         E
Well in some ways I'm like a child you never seem  to know it 
         A    E         A            E
And if a kind word ever crossed your mind
C#m       B        E
You never tried to show it 
E           A          B        E
When people don't know what you mean 
         A                B        E
They may laugh at you and call you green 
                 A         E
They'll say your words are stupid 
         F#m       B    E
And your plans are only schemes
A        E          A           C#m
Truth is simple but seldom ever seen 
B                A        B                 A        B    E
Let nothing come between  simple man simple dream
