    there's panic, and I hear somebody scream.

2.    He picks up useless paper, and puts it in my pocket,

F                                                                   E

    I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean.

3.    The sun is laughing, it's another broken morning,

F

    I see a shadow and call out to try and warn him,

    he didn't seem to hear, just turned away.

 

    G                  A                             C                         B7

+      The quiet fellow follows, and points his finger straight at you,

4.     His days are numbered, he walks round and round in circles,

F                                                              E

    there is no place he can ever call his own,

                         G                                       Eb     - D

    he seems to jump at the sound of the phone.

 

    A

5.     Staring out the window, there's nothing he can now do,
