Standard (EADGBE)

I know the truth but I can't say

 And I have to turn my head and look the other way

I'm not afraid and I won't lie

 As long as I see no wrong I won't need to testify

I see the world and I'm looking from a high place

Way above it all standing on higher ground

I breathe the air while they're running in a rat race

Way above it all standing on higher ground

I feel the blow but I don't speak

 And I have to close my eyes pretending I'm asleep

 Well I see the tears but I don't cry

 As long as I do no wrong I don't need an alibi

I see the world and I'm looking from a high place

Way above it all standing on higher ground

I breathe the air while they're running in a rat race

Way above it all standing on higher ground
