Verse 1
(A minor) Once I (E minor/G) rose above
the (F minoraj7) noise and con (G major) fusion
(A minor) Just to (E minor/G) get a glimpse be (F minoraj7) yond this il (G major) lusion
(D minor) I was (C major) soaring ever (B flat major) higher (C major)
(D minor) But I (C major) flew too (G major) high
(A minor) Though my (E minor/G) eyes could see,
I (F minoraj7) still was a (G major) blind man
(A minor) Though my (E minor/G) mind could think,
I (F minoraj7) still was a (G major) mad man
(D minor) I hear the voices (C major) when I'm (B flat major) dreaming (C major)

Verse 2
(A minor) Masque (E minor/G) rading as a (F minoraj7) man with a (G major) reason
(A minor) My cha (E minor/G) rade is the e (F minoraj7) vent of the (G major) season
(D minor) And if I (C major) claim to be a (B flat major) wise man, (C major) well
(D minor) It surely means (C major) that I don't (G major) know
(A minor) On a (E minor/G) stormy sea of (F minoraj7) moving e (G major) motion
(A minor) Tossed a (E minor/G) bout, I'm like a (F minoraj7) ship on the (G major) ocean
(D minor) I set a course (C major) for winds of (B flat major) fortune (C major)
(D minor) But I (C major) hear the voices (G major) say
