[Verse 1]
G Em
Over your shoulder
C Em
Please don't mind me
G Em
If my eyes have fallen
C G
Onto your magazine
Em C G
I've been watching and wondering
Em
Why your face is changing
C G
With every line you read
[Chorus]
Bm G Bm Em
All those lines and circles, to me, a mystery
Bm G Bm G
Eve pull down the apple and give taste to me
Am D
If she could it would be wonderful
C Em
But my pride is in the way
G Em
I cannot read to save my life
C G
I'm so ashamed to say
[Verse 2]
G Em
I live in silence
C Em
Afraid to speak
G Em
Of my life of darkness
C G
Because i cannot read
[Chorus]
Bm G Bm Em
All those lines and circles, to me, a mystery
Bm G Bm G
Eve pull down the apple and give taste to me
Am D
If she could it would be wonderful
G Em
Then I wouldn't need someone else's eyes
C Em
To see what's in front of me
G C G
No one guiding me
[Verse 3]
G Em
It makes me humble
C Em
To be so green
G Em
At what every kid can do
C G
When he learns a to z
[Chorus]
Bm G
All those lines and circles
Bm Em Bm G
Just frighten me and I fear that I'll be trampled
Bm G
If you don't reach for me
Am D
Before I run I'll have to take a fall
[Outro]
G Em C
And when pick myself up, so slowly
D Em
I'll devour every one of those
G C D G
Books in the tower of knowledge
