(chords)
Em            Bm  Em     Bm
 I don't know why nobody told you

Dm                  Am   Dm
 How to unfold your love

Em            Bm  Em         Bm
 I don't know how someone controlled you

Dm                    Am   Dm
 They bought and sold you.

 I don't know how you were diverted

 You were perverted too

 No one alerted you.


Words

Intro

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know why nobody told you
How to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you

I look at the world and I notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps

I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you

I look from the wings at the play you are staging
While my guitar gently weeps
As I'm sitting here doing nothing but aging
Still my guitar gently weeps
