C C/G
It's been years, he's been here

He's got all of his fingers, and all of his toes

Maybe one day he'll get to translate this information

For twenty years, he hasn't spoken a word
F G
He's been silent since the accident occured
C C/G
While so many people taken tongues for granted
C/G F
Taking the truth, finding ways to slant it
F C
I know a man who'd know what to do
C C/G
And so many people go day in and day out
C/G F
just dreaming of things they can bitch about
F C
I know a man who'd know what to do
C C/G
It's a dream, for him it's real
Am F
but it never goes away and never will
C C/G
He's in touch with what he feels
Am F
Oh but he just can't say, "Maybe it's better still"
F Em
His is a life of endless frustration
F Em Am
He's got his pride, he's not exempt from humiliation
F Em
Can't lift a finger to stop what's wrong
F G
He can't lift a leg to dance to a Beatles song
C C/G
While so many people taking spines for granted
C/G F
Slither and squirm, taking what they're handed
F C
I know a man who'd know what to do
C C/G
And so many people go day by day
C/G F
Sitting on their hands, constantly complaining
F C
I know a man who'd know what to do
(instrumental)
C, C/G, Am, F
C C/G
And so many content to exist like sheep
C/G F
Never scratching the surface of themselves too deep
F C
I know a man who'd know what to do
C C/G
And so many people like you and me
C/G F
Never realizing what our lives could be
F C
I know a man who'd know what to do
