Am C G D
[Verse 1]
C D7
Truth, with all it's far out schemes, Lets time decide what it should mean
G Gsus4 G
It's not the time but just the dreams that die.
G Bm
And sometimes when the room is still, Time with so much truth to kill
C G C G
Leaves you by the window sill so tied
Am D7 G
Without a wing, to take you high,
Am D7 G
Without a clue to tell you why.
C D7
Now, I just want to keep my name, not bother anybody's game
G Gsus4 G
Without ideas of gold or fame or - insane heights.
G Bm
I don't want a lot of money, I don't want a Playboy Bunny,
C G
Just a love to call me honey. late at night,
Am D7 G Am D7 G
In my arms, by my side, in my arms late at night.
[Chorus]
D C D
But I don't know, I ain't been told,
C D
Ev'rybody wants a hand to hold.
C D
They're so afraid of being old,
C D
So scared of dying, so unknown
Am C G D
And so alone, rollin' home.
[Verse 2]
C D7
Well, I see the ones who crawl like moles Who for a front would trade their souls,
G Gsus4 G
A broken mirror's the only hole for them;
G Bm
And for you who'd exchange yourselves, Just to be somebody else,
C G
Pretending things you never felt or meant;
Am D7 G Am D7 G
Hey, you don't live what you defend, You can't give so you just bend.
C D7
Now if you care what people think, Like they supplied some missing link;
G Gsus4 G
They'll just stand back and watch you sink so slow.
G Bm
They'll never help you to decide, They'll only take you for a ride,
C G
After which they'll try and hide the fact that they don't know
Am D7 G Am D7 G
What you should do, where you should go, What you should do, where you should go.
[Chorus]
D C D
But I don't know, I ain't been told,
C D
Ev'rybody wants a hand to hold.
C D
They're so afraid of being old,
C D
So scared of dying, so unknown
Am C G D
And so alone, rollin' home.
[Verse 3]
C D7
There's nothing big I want to prove, No mountains that I need to move,
G Gsus4 G
Or even claim what's right or true for you.
G Bm
My sights, my songs are slightly charred, You might think they miss their mark,
C G
But things are only what they are and - nothing new
Am D7 G Am D7 G
But for me, I think they'll do, But for me, I think they'll do.
C D7
Well, I can see a king and queen, a beggar falling at my feet;
G Gsus4 G
They all must see the same sad dreams at night;
G Bm
Futility and senseless war, pit the rich against the poor,
C G
While cause is buried long before the fight
Am D7 G Am D7 G
For what was wrong, for what was right, It's just the strong, who ever says what's right.
[Chorus]
D C D
But I don't know, I ain't been told,
C D
Ev'rybody wants a hand to hold.
C D
They're so afraid of being old,
C D
So scared of dying, so unknown
Am C G D
And so alone, rollin' home.
