Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Dm][Dm]
[E][E][Am][Am]
[Am][Am][Dm][Dm]
[E][E][Am][Am]

[Chorus 1]
I'm a [Am]melancholy man,
[Dm]that's what I am,
[E]All the world surrounds me,
and my [Am]feet are on the ground
I'm a very lonely man
[Dm]doing what I can
[E]All the world astounds me
and I [Am]think I understand
That we're [E]going to keep [E]growing,
wait and [Am]see

[Verse 1]
When [Am]all the stars are falling down
In[Dm]to the sea and on the ground
And [E]angry voices carry on the [Am]wind,
a beam of light will fill your head
And [Dm]you'll remember what's been said
By [E]all the good men
this world's ever [Am]known
Another man is what you'll see
Who [Dm]looks like you and looks like me
And [E]yet somehow he will not feel the [Am]same
His life caught up in misery,
he [Dm]doesn't think like you and me
'Cause [E]he can't see what you and I can [Am]see

[Interlude 1]
[A][A][Dm][Dm]
[E][E][Am][Am]
[Am][Am][Dm][Dm]
[E][E][Am][Am]
[A][A][Dm][Dm]
[E][E][Am][Am]
[Am][Am][Dm][Dm]
[E][E][Am][Am]

[Verse 2]
But [Am]all the stars are falling down
In[Dm]to the sea and on the ground
And [E]angry voices carry on the [Am]wind,
a beam of light will fill your head
And [Dm]you'll remember what's been said
By [E]all the good men
this world's ever [Am]known
Another man is what you'll see
who [Dm]looks like you and looks like me
And [E]yet somehow he will not feel the [Am]same
His life caught up in misery,
he [Dm]doesn't think like you and me
'Cause [E]he can't see what you and I can [Am]see

[Chorus 2]
I'm a [Am]melancholy man,
[Dm]that's what I am
[E]All the world surrounds me,
and my [Am]feet are on the ground
I'm a very lonely man,
[Dm]doing what I can
[E]All the world astounds me
and I [Am]think I understand
That we're [E]going to keep [E]growing,
wait and [Am]see

[Outro 1]
[Am]I'm [Dm]a melancholy man,
[E]that's what I am
[Am]All the world surrounds me
[Dm]I'm a very lonely man,
[E]doing what I can
[Am]All the world astounds me
and I think I understand
That we're going to keep [Dm]growing,
just you wait [E]and see
Oh, be[Am]lieve me, believe me, believe me
[Dm]I'm a melancholy man
[Fade out]
