Capo 1
Intro: C, C/G, Am, F
C C/G
It's been years, he's been here
Am F
and time just lingers and no one knows
C C/G
He's got eyes, he's got ears
Am F
He's got all of his fingers, and all of his toes
F Em
His is a life of observation
F Em Am
Maybe one day he'll get to translate this information
F Em
For twenty years, he hasn't spoken a word
F G
He's been silent since the accident occured
C C/G
While so many people taken tongues for granted
C/G F
Taking the truth, finding ways to slant it
F C
I know a man who'd know what to do
C C/G
And so many people go day in and day out
C/G F
just dreaming of things they can bitch about
F C
I know a man who'd know what to do
C C/G
It's a dream, for him it's real
Am F
but it never goes away and never will
C C/G
He's in touch with what he feels
Am F
Oh but he just can't say, "Maybe it's better still"
F Em
His is a life of endless frustration
F Em Am
He's got his pride, he's not exempt from humiliation
F Em
Can't lift a finger to stop what's wrong
F G
He can't lift a leg to dance to a Beatles song
C C/G
While so many people taking spines for granted
C/G F
Slither and squirm, taking what they're handed
F C
I know a man who'd know what to do
C C/G
And so many people go day by day
C/G F
Sitting on their hands, constantly complaining
F C
I know a man who'd know what to do
(instrumental)
C, C/G, Am, F
C C/G
And so many content to exist like sheep
C/G F
Never scratching the surface of themselves too deep
F C
I know a man who'd know what to do
C C/G
And so many people like you and me
C/G F
Never realizing what our lives could be
F C
I know a man who'd know what to do
