Am                        G
I took this walk to ease my mind
                                 F  
To find out what's gnawing at me 
 
Wouldn't think to look at me  
          Am
that I've spent a lot of time in education  
G   
It all seems so long ago  
      Am
I'm a thinker not a talker
G  
 I've no-one to talk to anyway  
  Am                         G          F
I can't see the road for the rain in my eyes
Am   G    F7 F  
Ahhh ahhh ah ah.  
  Am                     G                 F
I live above the grocers store owned by an Austrian  

He often calls me down to eat  

And he   
Am                             G
jokes about his broken English tries to be a friend to me
        Am  
But for all my years of reading conversation  
G
I stand without a word to say  
   Am 
I  can't see the bridge
        G          F  
for the rain in my eyes
Am   G    F7 F  
Ahhh ahhh ah ah.  
        Am               G
And the world is full of life 
                            F 
Full of folk who don't know me
  
And they walk in twos or threes or more  

While the Am light that shines above the grocers store  
G
investigates my face so rudely  

And my Am essays lying scattered on the floor  
G
Fullfil their needs just by being there  

And my hands shake my head hurts  
                          F7
my voice sticks inside my throat  
                     G
I'm Am invisible and dumb 
                   F 
no-one will recall me  
      Am
And I can't see the water
            G           F  
through the tears in my ey-y-yes  
 Am
