Sometimes I can't help but thinkin' that I'm

Living a life of illusion

And oh why can't we let it be and see through
C
The hole in this wall of confusion
G
I just can't help but feeling
F C
I'm living a life of illusion
(Intro/Main Riff)
F
Pow,right between the eyes
C
Oh how nature loves her little surprises
F
Wow,it all seems so logical now
C
It's just one of her better disguises
G
And it comes with no warning
F C
Nature loves her little surprises

Continual crisis

F
Hey don't you know it's a waste of your day
C
Caught up in endless solutions

Based upon jumping conclusions
G F C
Caught up in endless solutions
G F C
Backed up against a wall of confusion
G F C
Living a life of illusion
