[Intro]

Em D C Em

[Verse 1]

Em                                                        D
Well I've walked these streets a virtual stage it seemed to me.
C                                                                                    Em
Make-up on their faces, actors took their place next to me.
Em                                                         D
Well I've walked these streets in a Carnival of sites to see.
C                                                                                              Em
All the cheap thrill seekers; the vendors and the dealers they crowded around me

[Chorus]
G
Have I been blind
                    D
Have I been lost inside myself and my own mind
C
Hypnotized, Mesmerized
                                   Em
By what my eyes have seen

[Verse 2]
Em                                                   D
I've walked these streets in a spectacle of wealth and poverty
C                                                                                      Em
In the diamond market the scarlet welcome carpet that they've just rolled out for me.
Em                                                      D
And I've walked these streets in the madhouse asylum they can be
C                                                                                                        Em
where a wild eyed misfit prophet on a traffic island stopped and he raved of saving me.

[Chorus]
G
Have I been blind
                    D
Have I been lost inside myself and my own mind
C
Hypnotized, Mesmerized
                                   Em
By what my eyes have seen
G
Have I been wrong
                    D
Have I been wise to shut my eyes and play along
C
Hypnotized, Paralyzed
                                    Em
By what my eyes have found,
      C                             D
By what my eyes have seen
                     Em
What they've seen

[Instrumental]

Em D C Em
