Dm7 G Dm7 G
[Verse 1]
Dm7
There is too much attention
G Dm7 G
Paid to people who believe
Dm7
That the world we live in
G Dm7 G
Really isn't round
Dm7 G
Yes there's too much attention
Dm7 G
Paid to people just like me
Dm7 G
Who'll confess their only aim in life
Dm7 G Dm7 G
Is down
Dm7
There is too much attention
G Dm7 G
As to where we all should be
Dm7 G
And to how much we should know
Dm7 G
Inside how long
Dm7
Yes there's too much attention
G Dm7 G
And the reason I believe
Dm7 G Dm7 G
Is because we are what we are right or wrong
[Chorus]
A7 D
So forgive me when I tell you
A7 D
I ain't got no place to go
A7 D
I ain't got no-one to talk to
A7 G G7
Got no one left to say hello
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
D#m7 G#
There is too much attention
D#m7 G#
Paid to him who shot at he
D#m7 G#
And to how he got away
D#m7 G#
But didn't quite
D#m7 G#
Yes there's too much attention
D#m7 G#
So much so that we'll believe
D#m7 G#
He's not guilty of the crime which he's
D#m7 G#
Being tried
[Chorus]
