INTRO:

[play:  F   Gm   Am   Gm
        F   Gm   Am   Gm - C]


VERSE:
F                          Am        Gm                   C
  You are the light of the world, so why is your world so grey?
F                          Am        Gm             C
  You are the light of the world, so why are you so bored?
           Bb            C          Bb                        F
Aren't you tired of your drab ways,    them drab and stagnant ways, yes


[play:  F   Am   Gm   C]


VERSE:
You are the light of the world, so why the frozen stare?
You are the light of the world, so why the assisted daze?
In the haze of your drab ways, them drab and stagnant ways


[play:  F   %   Gm   F]


BRIDGE:
F      F       Gm        Bb                 F
Dazed, glazed, hazed, oh stuck in your drab ways
    Am                   Bb                C
The days, oh, aren't you tired? Aren't you tired?
      Bb           C          Bb                        F
You return to them drab ways,    them drab and stagnant ways


VERSE:
There's a bomb, there's a psalm, so why are we such orphans?
There's above, there are ways but we prefer the daze
And the glaze of our drab ways, them drab and stagnant ways


[Guitar SOLO over VERSE chords]
