[Intro]
G C G C
G C G C
G C G C
[Verse 1]
G Em
Over your shoulder
C Em
Please don't mind me
G Em
If my eyes have fallen
C G
Onto your magazine
Em C G
I've been watching and wondering
Em
Why your face is changing
C G
With every line you read
[Chorus]
Bm G Bm Em
All those lines and circles, to me, a mystery
Bm G Bm G
Eve pull down the apple and give taste to me
Am D
If she could it would be wonderful
C Em
But my pride is in the way
G Em
I cannot read to save my life
C G
I'm so ashamed to say
[Verse 2]
G Em
I live in silence
C Em
Afraid to speak
G Em
Of my life of darkness
C G
Because i cannot read
[Chorus]
Bm G Bm Em
All those lines and circles, to me, a mystery
Bm G Bm G
Eve pull down the apple and give taste to me
Am D
If she could it would be wonderful
G Em
Then I wouldn't need someone else's eyes
C Em
To see what's in front of me
G C G
No one guiding me
[Verse 3]
G Em
It makes me humble
C Em
To be so green
G Em
At what every kid can do
C G
When he learns a to z
[Chorus]
Bm G
All those lines and circles
Bm Em Bm G
Just frighten me and I fear that I'll be trampled
Bm G
If you don't reach for me
Am D
Before I run I'll have to take a fall
[Outro]
G Em C
And when pick myself up, so slowly
D Em
I'll devour every one of those
G C D G
Books in the tower of knowledge

The strumming pattern shown is how they play it on the album with electric guitar. You can play it that way on acoustic, as well, but without drums, bass, organ, etc. it gets repetitive, so a regular acoustic strum pattern works better.
