let me know and I'll change it.

Well I was young

B F# G#m D#m

I was young and naive

As I was told

B F# G#m D#m

As I was told, so I believed

C# D#m F# G#m D#m B

and I was told there's only one road that leads you home

C# G#m

and the truth was a cave on the mountainside

D#m C# B

and I'd seek it out until the day I died

F# G#m B

Woo - oh, woo- oh

F# B F#

I was bound

B F# C# D#m

I was bound and determined

B F#

to be the child

B F# C# D#m

to be the child that you wanted

F# C# D#m B F# D#m B F#

but I was blind to every sign you left for me to find

D#m C# G#m C# D#m B

and the truth became a tool that I held in my hand

D#m F# B

I wielded it, but I did not understand

I was tired

B F# C# F#

of giving more than you gave to me

B F# B F# C# F#

and I desired a truth I wouldn't have to seek

B F# D#m C# F#

but in the silence I heard you calling out to me
