Capo 1
Intro: C, C/G, Am, F
CC/G
It's been years, he's been here
AmF
and time just lingers and no one knows
CC/G
He's got eyes, he's got ears
AmF
He's got all of his fingers, and all of his toes
FEm
His is a life of observation
FEmAm
Maybe one day he'll get to translate this information
FEm
For twenty years, he hasn't spoken a word
FG
He's been silent since the accident occured
CC/G
While so many people taken tongues for granted
C/GF
Taking the truth, finding ways to slant it
FC
I know a man who'd know what to do
CC/G
And so many people go day in and day out
C/GF
just dreaming of things they can bitch about
FC
I know a man who'd know what to do
CC/G
It's a dream, for him it's real
AmF
but it never goes away and never will
CC/G
He's in touch with what he feels
AmF
Oh but he just can't say, "Maybe it's better still"
FEm
His is a life of endless frustration
FEmAm
He's got his pride, he's not exempt from humiliation
FEm
Can't lift a finger to stop what's wrong
FG
He can't lift a leg to dance to a Beatles song
CC/G
While so many people taking spines for granted
C/GF
Slither and squirm, taking what they're handed
FC
I know a man who'd know what to do
CC/G
And so many people go day by day
C/GF
Sitting on their hands, constantly complaining
FC
I know a man who'd know what to do
(instrumental)
C, C/G, Am, F
CC/G
And so many content to exist like sheep
C/GF
Never scratching the surface of themselves too deep
FC
I know a man who'd know what to do
CC/G
And so many people like you and me
C/GF
Never realizing what our lives could be
FC
I know a man who'd know what to do
