On The Shoulders Of Giants

Em


[Verse]


Em                      G                  D                            C
An old bum pushes a shopping cart that he stole from Winn Dixie parking lot
Em                        G   D C
It's 1:00am and I'm on my way home
Em                      G               D               C
I left there before it came to shouts, just in time to see him spit his apple out
Em                    G                    D  C
Left your door and made a beeline for my own
Em G D C 2x
Em                      G                D              C
I tell you it's alright but I'm thinking fuck you anyway
Em                             G                    D                    C
You blame you for breaking promises, but I blame me for ever believing a word you'd say
Em                           G                  D                       C
I got what I need but it's not with you, and for what I want, I don't have the nerve
Em                      G            D       C
So I guess again it comes down to I get what I deserve


[Chorus]


Em  G   D                 C
And oh, don't be afraid just look around
Em  G   D                               C
And oh, Go on and say it, it's just a breath with a sound
Em   G     D        C
And oh yea don't be afraid to fall
Em                      G             D         C
When we're on the shoulders of giants’ baby after all
Em G D C 2x


[Verse]


Em                            G             D                         C
You smile as if I had nothing better to do, as if you were one of the chosen few
Em                    G               D   C
As if there were nothing cooler than you
Em                        G                       D                          C
Still I know you by touch and I know you by smell And I know you by ways too vulgar to tell
Em                    G                           D         C
See, I guess I know a little all too well so that smile is fitting for you


[Chorus]


Em  G   D                C
And oh, don't be afraid just look around
Em  G   D                               C
And oh, Go on and say it, it's just a breath with a sound
Em  G   D                C
And oh yes don't be afraid to fall
Em                    G        D       C
When we're on the shoulders of giants’ after all
Em G D C 2x


[Verse]


Em                    G                              D                                  C
I don't sleep with my politics; I choose not to hate but I don't wear my heart where my knees 
separate
Em                      G                       D                               C
It's crotch propaganda, bat for both teams, and it's me not choosing sides standing in between
Em                   G                 D                           C
An old bum pushes a shopping cart each notices the other and jumps with a start
Em                     G       D   C
It's 2:00am and I've found my way home
Em                           G                              D                       C
Well, it's giants in slumber but it's sleep that won't stay It's singing harps that got away
Em                      G                 D            C
And I fold my body to fit this furniture, hit the lights and call it a day


[Chorus]


Em  G   D                C
And oh, don't be afraid just look around
Em  G   D                               C
And oh, Go on and say it, it's just a breath with a sound
Em  G   D            C
And oh don't be afraid to fall
Em                      G      D       C
When we're on the shoulders of giants’ after all
Em G D C
