Intro: G5

G5                       B5
Sometimes I don't understand
E5         D5      C5
Why I was born at all
G5                            F5   C5
When all that I do leaves me empty
G5           C5           D5
Aching and longing for more
G5                         B5
Sometimes I feel I could stand
        E5            D5        C5
Man, I feel like I'm ten feet tall
               G5                         F5   C5
But then it's like I'm on trial and I'm guilty
  G5            C5        D5
I don't know exactly what for


G5
How I wish 
        B5
I could be relieved
A5              G5
Fall on God's doorstep
     C5 G5   D5
And be received
G5
But it seems he doesn't
B5          E5
Care for me anymore
   A5               G5
So I'll be on my way
                C5     G5       D5
Live from the cradle to the grave
             G5     D5
On my own


G5                   B5
Son you must understand
E5           D5       C5
Why I would let you fall
   G5                      F5    C5
It isn't because I don't love you
     G5           C5            D5
It's not that I want you to crawl
         G5                      B5
But the silence between us has grown
         E5            D5       C5
And your towers have grown so tall
G5                             F5   C5
"I let you choose; you have chosen"
     G5              C5         D5 
You don't seem to want me at all


G5
How I wish
      B5
To be reconciled
     A5              G5
That you would just love me
          C5    G5     D5
With the heart of a child
        G5
But it seems you never
B5             E5
Want me around anymore
   A5                   G5
So you can have your way
                C5    G5        D5
Live from the cradle to the grave
                E5  D5  A5  E5  D5  C5
Far from home


G5
How I wish (Child how I love you)
        B5
I could be relieved (but you're so far away)
A5             G5
Fall on God's doorstep (Won't you come home to me?)
    C5   G5  D5
And be received (I will give you my robe)
        G5
But it seems he doesn't (Clothe you in linen)
B5          E5
Care for me anymore (Son I want you to stay)
   A5               G5
So I'll be on my way (I'll set you free)
                C5    G5       D5 
Live from the cradle to the grave (How I long to be home)


G5
How I wish (I've been alone)
      B5
To be reconciled (so very long)
     A5              G5
That you would just love me (with a heart made of stone)
          C5    G5     D5
With the heart of a child (Can you dry all the tears)
        G5
But it seems you never (I've held in my heart?)
B5             E5
Want me around anymore
   A5                   G5
So you can have your way (I'll be on my way)
               C5     G5           D5
Live from the cradle to the grave
                E5  D5  A5  E5 D5 A5  
Far from home
