D                     A
When you look at the world
D                    A
What is it that you see
D                F#m
People find all kinds of things
       E
That bring them to their knees

I see an expression
So clear and so true
That it changes the atmosphere
When you walk into the room

Chorus:
         D               A  
  So i try to be like you
          Bm         E
  Try to feel lucky too
        D                A  
  Going up till it's no use
           E
  I can't see what you see
                      D
  When I look at the world

When the night is someone else's
And you're trying to get some sleep
When your thoughts are too expensive
To ever want to keep

When there's all kinds of chaos
And everyone is walking lame
You don't even blink now, do you
Or even look away

Chorus

I can't wait any longer
I can't wait till I'm stronger
Can't wait any longer
To see what you see
When I look at the world

I'm in the waiting room
I can't see for the smoke
I think of you and your holy book
While the rest of us choke

Tell me, tell me, what do you see?
Tell me, tell me, what's wrong with me
