Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Dsus4][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
A circle [Dsus4]spinning faster
[G]And getting larger all the[Dsus4] time
[C][Dsus4][G]
A whirlpool spelled [D]disaster[C][Dsus4][G]
For all the people who don't [Dsus4]rhyme[D][C]

[Verse 2]
Him who don't fit through [F]the
needle's [C]eye
Him who just don't un[Dsus4]derstand
[Am]Understand, un[Dsus4]derstand,

[Verse 3]
understand
[G]
A brand new sense of freedom
[F]A brand new sense of tim[Am]e[Bm][C][G]
Him may go and stand alone now
An[F]d leave the h[Am]ate a[G]nd f[C]ear
be[G]hind
[C][G][C][Dsus4]

[Verse 4]
[G]
All the millions spent [D]for [Dsus4]killing
[G]Seems the whole world
must [Dsus4]be dying[G]
All the children who [Dsus4]go hungry[C]
[G]How much food we could
[D]be [Dsus4]buy ing[C]

[Verse 5]
Him who don't fit through [F]the needle's
eye
[C]Him who just don't
under[Dsus4]stand
Understand, understand,

[Verse 6]
understand
[G]
A brand new sense [F]of freedom
A brand new sense of [Am]time[Bm][C][G]
Him may go and stand alone now
And [F]the leave the [Am]hate [Bm]and
[C]fear be[G]hind
[D][Dm]

[Verse 7]
[C]
People wake up every [F]morning
[C]And simply push their lives asi[F]de
[Am]They seem to carry all their feeli[Bm]ngs
[C]Crushed and crumbled up [Dsus4]in side
[D]Inside, [Am]in s[C]ide,[Dsus4] inside[C][Dsus4]
[D]

[Verse 8]
[G]Him who don't fit through
the needle's [F]eye
Him who just don't un
[Am]der [C]stand[Dsus4]
[G]

[Interlude 1]
[D][C][G][C][Dsus4][D][G][Dsus4][C][G][C]
[F][Am][C][Dsus4][D][G][Dsus4][C][D][G]
[F][Am][Bm][C][G][F][Am][Bm][C]
[G][Dsus4][G]

[Verse 9]
So I went to see my [Dsus4]father[G]
Many questions on [Dsus4]my mind[D][G]
But he didn't want to
answer [C]me[Dsus4][G]
God, the whole world must
[D]be [Dsus4]blind[C]

[Verse 10]
Him who don't fit [Am]through
the needle's [F]eye[C]
Him may someday go [D]in [Dsus4]sane
[Dm]Insane, [Dsus4]in sane,[D]
[Dm]insa[Dsus4]ne

[Verse 11]
[G]Without a brand new
sense of [F]freedom[G][F]
A brand new sense of [Am]time
[Bm][C][Dsus4][G]
Him may go and stand alone [F]now
And leave the [Am]hate [Bm]and f[C]ear be[G]hind,
yeah, be[G]hind
