[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E
A modern-day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Today's Tom Sawyer
E E E D E A E C
Mean mean pride.
[Hook]
E E
Though his mind is not for rent,
E D
Don't put him down as arrogant.
E A
His reserve, a quiet defense,
E C C G A
Riding out the day's events.
C G A E E E D E A C B A G F# E
The ri_ver
E F# G A E C B A
[Bridge]
E F# G A
And what you say about his company
E C B A
Is what you say about society.
E F# G A
Catch the mist, catch the myth
E C B A E F# G A E C B A B
Catch the mystery, catch the drift.
[Hook]
B
The world is, the world is,
A G B
Love and life are deep,
A G A E
Maybe as his eyes are wide.
E
Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the space he invades
He gets by on you.
[Solo]

E E E D E A E C
[Verse 2]
E E
No, his mind is not for rent
E D
To any god or government.
E A
Always hopeful, yet discontent,
E C C G A
He knows changes aren't permanent,
C G A E E E D E A C B A G F# E
But change is.
E F# G A E C B A
[Hook]
E F# G A
And what you say about his company
E C B A
Is what you say about society.
E F# G A
Catch the witness, catch the wit
E C B A E F# G A E C B A B
Catch the spirit, catch the spit.
[Hook]
B
The world is, the world is,
A G B
Love and life are deep,
A G A E
Maybe as his eyes are wide.
[Verse 3]
E
Exit the warrior,
Today's Tom Sawyer,
He gets high on you,
And the energy you trade,
He gets right on to the friction of the day.
