Capo 1 fret

 
     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

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

I can promise you that

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

The truth stands in the end
