(capo on 3rd fret for original key of E flat)
Verse 1:
Well Cthose who know don't Em7say, and those that Fsay don't know
AmYou can travel Emonly so far, till there's Fnowhere left to go
CWhen the world's a Em7race track, yeah and Fyou're a snail
AmDid love walk by and Emleave you, weak and Fpale?
Refrain:
CWiser men than Em7you and I have Ffailed
So Amwhat if the one who stands Emout is the one who gets Fnailed?
CWiser men than Em7you and I have Ffailed
Verse 2: (chords as Verse 1)
Some folks wish they could live in some kingdom of truth
They're watching time with the saints and sinners, and the saddhus
Here in a world of bright promises, all come and gone, (all come and gone)
It's better to light one candle, before your day is done
Bridge (try it on mandolin or harmonica)
Verse 3: (chords as Verse 1)
Fools are all ears, but hear nothing that's being said
Man bites dogma and the battles rage inside his head
The fearful unite and try to own your world, oh it's true but
Love and you don't care a lick about what they do
Refrain (as above) and repeat last line
