Look the other [F#]way

It was [Em]summer and the crowds were [Bm]gone
And you [G]sit all alone with

Over Indian graves and
You [Em]wonder why your dreams are [Bm]crazed
So you [G]cling to your wife,
Your kids, and you life
There's [D]nothin that you're gonna save

Put the [Bm]razor to your face,
Hot water for a shave
Kill the [Em]shadow of yester[Bm]day
Clean [G]shirt, clean pants,
Clean sleet second chance
You're [D]goin by another name

Some [G]far off feelings
Some up close kind of [D]ache
A [G]wide screen reason to
Look the other [F#]way
