I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping,

Am          G          D        E

While my guitar gently weeps.

I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping,

Still my guitar gently weeps.

 

A            AM7 F#m    A        Bm                  E

I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love.

A            AM7  F#m        A           Bm                   E

I don't know how someone controlled you, they bought and sold you.

 

I look at the world and I notice it's turning,

While my guitar gently weeps.

With every mistake we must surely be learning,

Still my guitar gently weeps.

 

I don't know how you were diverted, you were perverted, too.

I don't know how you were inverted, no-one alerted you.

 

I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping,

While my guitar gently weeps.

Look at you all...

Still my guitar gently weeps.
