If the bottom 4 chords are too awkward to for you to play then you can substitute them for the
chords in brackets after them - it won't be perfect but will get you close enough for a busking version
if you really want to try playing the song.

Verse

C                    Am             C                     Am
I look around me and what do I see? Sadness surrounds me, alone as can be
F                               C        Am   Em/C                       G6/C
With too much time and too much distance      These chains that bind me, They won't set me free
Edim                 Aaug       G  F                                   D7
I look behind me and coming for me   Is my best friend, she's my resis-tance

Chorus

Fmaj7     G               E              Am    G  Fmaj7           G               E        Am    G
So if you find yourself a-lone and so un-kind,      and if you've asked yourself, over and over
                       F                    G     E         Am   G
And even if your heart-beats hurt like good-byes, try, try, try
          F                G                     Csus2
Open your mind, spend some time, with the gentle kind

Verse

C                      Am                      C              Am
I was torn between the darkness and the light, lost to all be-lief that it could turn out right
F                   C                        Am         Em/C          G6/C
But my quiet friend turned me round, Made me see again, Took my hand, said nothing much
Edim                      Aaug          F                      D7
No lesson learned, just a gentle touch, and I am coming round, I am coming round again

Chorus

Fmaj7     G               E              Am    G  Fmaj7           G               E        Am    G
So if you find yourself a-lone and so un-kind,      and if you've asked yourself, over and over
                       F                    G     E         Am   G
And even if your heart-beats hurt like good-byes, try, try, try
          F                G                     Csus2
Open your mind, spend some time, with the gentle kind

Bridge

F                            C
  Cos' in a hard world, with fastness and an eye on the money
F                              C
  I heard a soft voice, saying never worry, hold on honey
F                         E                        Am    D7                  G  N.C.          Csus2  Am
When my world was gone, a whisper kind of eased my mind, and I am holdin' on,   to the gentle kind

Instrumental

Outro

Em/C          G6/C               Edim                      Aaug
Took my hand, said nothing much, no lesson learned, just a gentle touch
Fmaj7     G               E              Am    G  Fmaj7           G               E        Am    G
So if you find yourself a-lone and so un-kind,      and if you've asked yourself, over and over
                       F                    G     E         Am   G
And even if your heart-beats hurt like good-byes, try, try, try
          F                G                     Csus2            F                G                     Csus2
Open your mind, spend some time, with the gentle kind,  Open your mind, spend some time, with the gentle kind
          F                G                     Csus2  C   Am   C   Am    C   Am    C
Open your mind, spend some time, with the gentle kind
