capo 1

        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                                            G/B
What'd you say? Yeah, yeah, yeah
        D
Oh, what'd you say?

I said that you need me, don't you?

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

The truth stands in the end
                      Em G        Am      G
