 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.
