B             D    A 
Every day you must say 
B            D            A 
So, how do I feel about my life? 
B            D        A    
Anything is hard to find 
B            D             A 
When you will not open your eyes 
B             Bmaj7           B7        G  A 
When will you accept yourself? 

E      Bsus2       G#m            E   F# 
I am sick and I am dull, and I am plain 
E      Bsus2                G#m            E   F# 
How dearly I'd love to get carried away 
E      Bsus2       G#m            E   F# 
Oh, but dreams have a knack of just not coming true 
E      Bsus2       G#m            E   F# 
And time is against me now, oh 

B           D         A 
Oh, who and what to blame? 
B            D        A 
Oh, anything is hard to find

When you will not open your eyes

When will you accept yourself, for heaven's sake? 

B           D         A 
Anything is hard to find 
B           D         A 
When you will not open your eyes 
B           D         A 
Every day you must say 
B       Bmaj7       B7             G      A 
Oh, how do I feel about the past? 

E      Bsus2       G#m            E   F# 
Others conquered love but I ran 
E      Bsus2       G#m            E   F# 
I sat in my room and I drew up a plan 
E      Bsus2       G#m            E   F# 
Oh, but plans can fall through as so often they do 
E      Bsus2       G#m            E   F# 
And time is against me now 

B           D         A 
And there's no one left to blame 
B           D         A 
Oh, tell me when will you 
B           D         A 
When will you accept your life? 
B       Bmaj7       B7             G      A 
The one that you hate 

B           D         A 
For anything is hard to find 
B           D         A 
When you will not open your eyes 
B           D         A 
Every day you must say 
B       Bmaj7       B7             G      A 
Oh, how do I feel about my shoes? 

E      Bsus2       G#m            E   F# 
They make me awkward and plain 
E      Bsus2       G#m            E   F# 
How dearly I would love to kick with the fray 
E      Bsus2       G#m            E   F# 
But I once had a dream and it never came true 
E      Bsus2       G#m            E   F# 
And time is against me now, time is against me now 

B           D         A 
And there's no one but yourself to blame 
B           D         A 
Oh, anything is hard to find 
B           D         A 
When you will not open your eyes 
B       Bmaj7       B7             G      A 
Anything is hard to find, for heaven's sake 

B           D         A 
Anything is hard to find 
B           D         A 
When you will not open your eyes 
B           D         A 
When will you accept yourself? 

B   D  A (repeated) 
When, when, when, when?
