[Intro]
Bb F Bb F C
[Verse 1]
F Am
The sum of all my fears like dread are from demons yet to come
Dm G C
All the things I should've mentioned wave goodbye and "we'll see you soon"
F Am
It's the words I've never written that say more about myself
Dm G C
Where empty is the promise lies a pocket full of doubt
[Chorus]
F Dm
So may the road I've yet to take
F Dm
Leave a smile across my face
F C Am
'Till the laughter sheds the darkness far behind
F C
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind
Bb F Bb F C
[Verse 2]
F Am
Though my time may be less traveled than those that came before
Dm G C
We're all exiles here in madness kicking down each other's door
F Am
Unforgiven is the lesson we pour upon ourselves
Dm G C
When a helping hand is needed, slap in the face is what we get
[Chorus]
F Dm F Dm
But I will fight for this right and each moment of it's life
F C Am
'Till I witness all the differences yet to heal
F Dm
So may the road I've yet to take
F Dm
Leave a smile across my face
F C Am
'Till the laughter sheds the darkness far behind
F C
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind
Bb F Bb F C
[Verse 3]
F Am
Sometimes drink till I am empty, grab another from the shelf
Dm G C
Though I'm stuck in conversation, it's with myself and no one else
F Am
Never listen to much reason till I hear it's a last call
Dm G C
When I notice that my ghost is still dancing on his own
F Dm
So may the road I've yet to take
F Dm
Leave a smile across my face
F C Am
'Till the laughter sheds the darkness far behind
F C F
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind
[Bridge]
C
Wherever you go
C
(The sun sets to rise on a day that you find you Struggle to be but you're already there)
F
Wherever you go
C
Wherever you go
C
(A passionless life has no words to write it's a body that's broken and breathless of life)
F
Oh, wherever you go
Bb F
There'll always be a roof and a dream above our head
C Bb F
As long as I'm breathing, then forever I'll be
[Chorus]
F Dm F Dm
Arh, I will fight for this right and each moment of it's life
F C Am
'Till I witness all the differences yet to heal
F Dm
So may the road we've yet to take
F Dm
Leave a smile across our face
F C Am
'Till the laughter sheds the darkness far behind
F C
For we still belong in the cradle of humankind
