in the back of your mind

won't go away

same tables around

Outro 
D       Cadd9           D 
They say - they can leap 
                Cadd9 
from the common heap 
    D                          Cadd9 
but first look around past the college grounds 
      D 
where people wear 
   Cadd9                          D 
of more than themselves they care
