C              G
Well I was young 
C        G        Am Em
i was young and naive
C       G
as I was told, 
C          G        Am Em
as I was told so I believed
D     Em                      G           C        Am  Em         C
and I was told there's only one road that leads you home
 
          D                 Am
and the truth was a cave on the mountainside
           Em             D                 C
and I'd seek it out until the day I died

C      G
I was bound 
C       G             Am  Em
I was bound and determined
C            G
to be the child 
C            G            Am  Em
to be the child that you wanted
D         Em          C        G           Em                  C
but I was blind to every sign you left for me to find
         Em                      Am             Em           C
and the truth became a tool that I held in my hand
Em                    D                C
I wielded it, but I did not understand

 C     G
I got tired 
C              G                   D          G
of giving more than you gave to me
C           G        C           G           C        G
and I desired a truth I wouldn't have to seek
 D           C          Em              C         D        C
but in the silence I heard you calling out to me
