You seem to have a broad-er sensibility I’m just liv-ing on nerves and feelings With a weak and a lazy mind And com-ing to people’s par- - ties      A7sus4 Fumb-ling   deaf dumb and blind I wish  I had more sense of humor   Keeping the sad- -ness at bay   Throwing the lightness on these things Laughing it all  away                   (3x) Laugh-ing it all away
