(capo on the third fret)

   G             Bm
The demands made upon you
    C              D
Are hard to live up to
 G              Bm     C     D
It's futile to try and deny
          G              Bm
And the things you hold dearly
      C              D
Are scoffed at and yearly
   G                   Bm        D
Judged once and then left aside

                C
'Cause they're blind
       Am                        C
They hold you too close to the light
       Am
And I see you, would they?
       G
Oh the might
         Bm
If they learn
             C           D
But they're letting you burn
                 G
'Cause they're blind


(That's it for main verses and chorus, now the bridge:)

      Am             C
They only like what they can see
     Am                        C
An' what they can't they just can't agree
        G              G7
If you run to me, run, run
  Am           C
Only like the day with her
  Am          C
Only like a date with her
  F
Then you run back
  D
Then you run back blind
