Verse 1:

C                             F
You can turn around and walk away
C                                     F
Tell yourself there’s nothing here to see
C                              F
Try so hard to look the other way
C                               F
As if you haven’t noticed anything


Coda:

G                          
You do it to the least of these
F
You do it to me
F                   C   F
You gotta take the time
F                   C   F
You gotta take the time


Verse 2:

C                              F
Shallow is the voice of no concern
C                                       F
Running through the bridges that we have burned
C                               F
You can’t even feel your own demise
C                                   F
So how can you pretend to lead the blind
