The Truth

     G#                   Fm
Well I've been trying to re-learn my name
   D#            G#
It seems like a thousand years
     Fm                         D#     
I've been out of frame and I surrender
    G#
The truth is what
          Fm    
What I've needed from you
D#         G#                    Fm      
I've been floating within your walls of opinion
D#       G#
And I'm tired - I only want the truth
 
 
Db                          
 -I have tried so hard not to be like them
G#                                 G#  
 I have found they don't ever say what they mean-
Db                             Fm   G#
 There is a truth, there is a light
Bbm                 G#     
If you'd follow me there
Db
 -I've been searching for the directions and
G#                                     G#  
 I'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needs-
Db                        Fm      G#
 There is a hope for the hopeless
Bbm                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
                        Fm
Under pressure of compromise
D#             G#                      
Yeah, well an absolute measure
 
Won't change with opinion
   Fm                     
No matter how hard you try
          D#       G#
It's an immovable thing
                               Fm           
Just like the visions in your bed
                           D#      Db
Or when they're streaming in your head
 
 
Db                          
 -I have tried so hard not to be like them
G#                                 G#

 I'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needs-
           Fm   G#     
There is a hope
Bbm            G#
And I'll come back
 
 
          Db
If you're leading my hand
The world is so broken
    G#
I'm tripping my steps
                 G#      Db
I'm slipping and I know why
                              Em  G-Am
I never thought that I'd be here
            G#            Db                  
A blinding call to prayer has touched my feet
 
Like the call of the prophets
  G#                                 G#        Db
A purpose is needed before you know that you know
                          Fm  G#
To never wonder what you are
    Bbm                          G#
And not forget where you come from

Uh? What'd you say? What'd you say?
