In(D)fluenced by light ‘cause I (G6)left to soon

To (D) tell wrong from (A7) right

(D) Tell me how is it that (G) clouds can see,

What (D) right do they have to point (G6) they’re finger at me?

(D)…ving through the night (G) under the moon

In(D)fluenced by light ‘cause I (G6)left to soon

To (D) tell wrong from (A7) right. (D)
