F

F                          Dm
You're too low to see me smiling
Bb/F           Eb/G     F
When I'm flying in the air
    Bb/F        Gm      C
But you're too high to frighten me
F                  Dm
Pretend you didn't see me
G7                  C
Pretend you didn't need me
F                  Dm
Pretend you didn't see me
G7                  C
Pretend you didn't need me
                 Bb/F     Gm           C
To frighten away all the lost and the lonely
     Eb                 Bb/D          F
The sacred forgotten of yesterday's problems

F                 Dm     Bb/F      Eb/G    F
Your wooden construction was meant for infliction
Bb/F                        Gm               C
To penetrate pain with the thoughts from my mind

Dm
Can you see me scarecrow
Am
Can you still feel free
Dm
For all your love scarecrow
Bb                             C
And will you still be there tomorrow
Bb                             C
And will you still be there tomorrow

F                    Dm         Bb/F  Eb/G            F
Like moths around a light bulb, your brain is still bleeding
Bb/F              Gm          C
From visions and pictures of nature's young raincoat
F           Dm   G7                      C
If only my eyes were not pinned to your table
F                 Dm       G7           C
My arms would be grasping the lilac of summer
Bb/F            Gm      C
It's no good to me, a scarecrow can't see
Eb                            Bb/D         F
I've said it before, and I'll say it some more

F                          Dm
You're too low to see me smiling
Bb/F           Eb/G     F
When I'm flying in the air
Bb/F            Gm       C
But you're too high to frighten me
