(Brian Wilson / Terry Sachen)

Verse 1:
Bb F7 Bb
I know so many people who think they can do it alone
F7 Bb
They isolate their heads and stay in their safety zone
Db Ab/Gb
Now what can you tell them
Db Ab Gm Fm Eb
And what can you say that won't make them defensive
Chorus:
Bb/F Gm
I know there's an answer
Bb/F Gm Cm7 Cm7/F
I know now but I have to find it by myself
Verse 2:
They come on like they're peaceful
But inside they're so uptight
They trip through their day
And waste all their thoughts at night
Now how can I come on
And tell them the way that they live could be better
[repeat chorus]
Wind break:

Gb7 [banjo] (Bb)
