   A
I finally gave myself the time to - see you
I finally gave myself the time to - see you
I finally gave myself the time to -
                D   D7  D  D7
see you for a while
   A                             G
If only we could see past the veneer,
                      A
we'd see another side of you

Simone said she would think about not seeing me
Simone said she would think about not seeing me
Simone said she would think about not seeing me
for a while
I hung around with her for forty days and forty
nights, it was a wilderness

If only you would stop, look, and listen
If only you would stop, look, and listen
If only you would stop, look, and listen you'd
be fine
But being deaf and being blind just seems to
be the way you spend your time

Chorus:
         G                 D              A
(Being alone) it's not a problem when I think of you
         G                 D              A
(Being alone) it's not a problem when I think of you
         G                 D              A
(Being alone) it's not a problem when I think of you
                          D             E
(Your words are true) and all I do is dream

Spent summer in the city of my childhood
Spent summer in the city of my childhood
Spent summer in the city of my childhood
for old times
But there's no going back for me, the faces had
all changed, I was a stranger

He made the same mistake until he got wiser
He made the same mistake until he got wiser
By then it was too late and he despised her,
what a crime
If he was cruel to be kind, he would've saved
the trouble and the time

Chorus

If only we could see past the veneer,
we'd see another side of you

I live alone the silence, it can take you
I live alone the silence, it can make you
I live alone the silence, it can break you
after a while
Not long ago I made a deal, the ghosts around
the house all seem to like me

My life is falling down, I am surrounded
My life is falling down, I am confounded
My life is falling down, I am dumbfounded,
what a mess
I lay back silent as a cat and let
you work your mysteries of healing

Chorus:
Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you
Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you
Being alone, it's not a problem when I think of you
Your words are true and all I do
Is think of you, your words are true and all I do
Is think of you, your words are true
and all I do is dream
If only we could see past the veneer,
we'd see another side of you
