Capo: 1 | Key: G#


     G                   Em
Well I've been trying to re-learn my name
   D            G
It seems like a thousand years
     Em                         D     
I've been out of frame and I surrender
    G
The truth is what
          Em    
What I've needed from you
D         G                    Em      
I've been floating within your walls of opinion
D       G
And I'm tired - I only want the truth


C                          
 (I have tried so hard not to be like them
G                                 G/B
 I have found they don't ever say what they mean)
C                             Em   G
 There is a truth, there is a light
Am                 G     
If you'd follow me there
C
 (I've been searching for the directions and
G                                     G/B
 I'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needs)
C                        Em      G
 There is a hope for the hopeless
Am                G
I can promise you that

           G
Yeah, well I've been accosted
The jury's been partial
    G
But I won't surrender
                        G
To prove to you I won't lie
                        Em
Under pressure of compromise
D             G                      
Yeah, well an absolute measure
Won't change with opinion
   Em                     
No matter how hard you try
          D       G
It's an immovable thing
                               Em           
Just like the visions in your bed
                           D      C
Or when they're streaming in your head


C                          
 (I have tried so hard not to be like them
G                                 G/B
 I have found they don't ever say what they mean)
C                             Em   G
 There is a truth, there is a light
Am                 G     
If you'd follow me there
C
 (I've been searching for the directions and
G                                     G/B           C
 I'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needs)
           Em   G     
There is a hope
Am            G
And I'll come back

          C
If you're leading my hand
The world is so broken
    G
I'm tripping my steps
                 G/B    C
I'm slipping and I know why
                              Em  G-Am
I never thought that I'd be here
            G            C                  
A blinding call to prayer has touched my feet
Like the call of the prophets
  G                                 G/B      C
A purpose is needed before you know that you know
                          Em  G
To never wonder what you are
    Am                          G
And not forget where you come from


Interlude: G  C  G/B  D    G  C  G/B  D


G              C                         G/B
 Is it really love you've been speaking of?
    D               G
Uh? What'd you say? What'd you say?
C                         
What'd you say? Yeah, yeah
G/B                 D 
What'd you say? Oh, what'd you say?
G
 I said that you need me, don't you?


Interlude: C  G  G/B  C

           Em  G
There is a truth
Am                G
I can promise you that
C
 (I have tried so hard not to be like them
G                                 G/B
 I have found they don't ever say what they mean)
C    Em  G  Am     
 Yeah, yeah eh


G   C           
The truth
    G               G/B C
The truth stands in the end
             Em  G    Am      G  C
While you're deciding what to do
    G               G/B C
The truth stands in the end
             Em  G    Am        G
While you're deciding what to do
