[Verse 1]
When the chips are down and you're blinded on your feet
You're standin' up and walkin', but you know you are dead meat
The sky is bustin' and it's near the break of day
When you're runnin' out of options, when you're runnin' out of place

[Pre-Chorus]
The leaves are crackin', withered on a tree
I beg you, darlin', won't you say a prayer for me?
I need your benediction 'cause I have a soul in need
And I can't sit down much lower 'cause I'm on my knees

[Chorus]
Like the blind leadin' the blind
After the wine, the tears, they are gushin'
Oh, like the blind leadin' the blind
Time after time, you won't let the love in, yeah

[Verse 2]
You are the sharpest knife, you are the finest blade
You are the shinin' sun, everybody's in your shade
So funny to ya, drippin' honey from your tongue
But you never know what's waitin' for you when your day is done

[Pre-Chorus]
There is a sadness grindin' in your bones
A twisted trap, now you are forced to go
You need a hand of friendship to steady up your heart
So hang on to me closely and I'll show you down the path
[Chorus]
Like the blind leadin' the blind
Askin' me why you won't let the love in
Oh, like the blind leadin' the blind
Only to find your feelings are nothin', nothin', yeah

[Bridge]
Oh

[Chorus]
Oh, like the blind leadin' the blind
After the wine, oh, your tears, they are gushin'
Oh, just like the blind leadin' the blind
Time after time, you won't let the love in
Oh, oh, just like the blind leadin' the blind
Leadin' the blind, oh, yeah, oh, come on
Just like the blind leadin' the blind…
