G
                         D
how can I look through their senseless side
    C  
as much as I'd like to?
Am          C              G
All is not right, and it shows
                D 
All around you, under a tree
   C
A seed, come in closer
  Am        C     Am           C
There is a sign, shaped in the mind

     G    D            Em     A
Pick up,    for God's sakes
         C        Am          G
When we call you back to the lake

G
                    D
How can I tell you, all that is wrong
 C
Nothing invites you
 Am         C               G
Can't get along - with you now
                D
And I try to, there is a page
C
It's still unwritten
  Am           C     Am             C
Why can't you find, time in your schedule

        G    D            Em     A
To pick up,    for God's sakes
         C        Am          G
When we call you back to the lake

         G    D            Em     A
Oh! pick up,    for God's sakes
         C        Am          G    D
When we call you back to the lake
            Em    A
Make no mistake
         C        Am          G
We will call you back to the lake
