INTRO: C Am Dm G (2x)
C Am Dm
The poet's head is dead
G
His words have been misread
C Am Dm
And the cynic's lips are dry
G C
His vulture tongue obsessed
(C) Dm
You gotta love the earth
G
Don't burn my wings
Em
Too close to the sun
C Dm G (G)
C
God knows I'm good
Am
So misunderstood
Dm G
Coming to you Ah-ah
C
I'm down on my own
Am
No spirit unknown
Dm G C
That's why I'm supposed to believe in you
(C) Dm
I love the earth
G
Don't burn my wings
Em
Too close to the sun
(CHORUS)
What the hell am I supposed to do
When you're pushing hard on me
who the hell am I supposed to be
When you're bleeding all over me
Am
Said it before
Em
Sayin' it again
(Em)
Holy fools yea
C Dm G G x2
Am C G
What are you gonna do when the light gets in your eye
G C Am
You're gonna find that there's--there's life outside
Am C G
Who am I supposed to be
G C Am
When you're so hard, hard on me
OUTRO

And he wants to know that God knows I'm good
