[Verse]
SClow steady hands waving their last goodbye
They've come a Dlong wA#ay
They've carried me, they've carried me through waking dreaFms
And sCoft whispered words echoing all this time
Speak in a strange tonA#gue
But somehow I have recognized it all alFong
[Chorus]
I Cturned myDmself blue, but forced Cmy way through
And I'm still out heA#re looking for anCswers
I've ended up wrDmong the faster CI've gone
But I know I am finding the ansCwersF  
CRemembering every attempted flight
I don't want to sGmtay herA#e
I told myself I listened close I filled my earFs
CLong nights alone
No, you can't understand
You just want to transfA#orm
An empty stage, a fit of rage and you are bForn
CI turned myself bDmlue, but fCorced my way through
And I'm still oA#ut here looking for ansCwers
I've ended up wroDmng the fastCer I've gone
But I know A#I am finding the ansCwers
CI am not what appears
CI am failures and fears
But I'm on my wA#ay, I am on my Cway
[Interlude]
Dm C A# C D C A#
[Chorus]
CI turned myself bDmlue, but foCrced my way through
And I'm sA#till out here looking for anCswers
I've ended up wDmrong the fasCter I've gone
But I know I am fA#inding the aCnswers
CI am not what appears
CI am failures and fears
But I'm on mA#y way, I am on my way
CSlow steady hands waving their last goodbye
They've come a long wA#ay
They've carried me, they've carried me through waking dreams
