To Leave Something Behind

(início)

G                     C           G
I cannot say that I know you well
        C           G                   Em
But you can't lie to me with all these books that you sell
        C                  Em                       C
I'm not trying to follow you to the end of the world
            G             C             G
I'm just trying to leave something behind
G                     C           G
Words have come from men and mouse
        C           G                   Em
But I can't help thinking that I've heard the wrong crowd
        C                Em     G                   C
When all the water is gone my job will be too
            G             C             G
And I'm trying to leave something behind
     C          Em              G               C
Oh money is free but love costs more than our bread
                     G          D
And the ceiling is hard to reach
        C       Em      G          C
Oh the future ahead is broken and red
            G             C             G
But I'm trying to leave something behind
            G           C       G
This whole world is a foreign land
        C           G                   Em
We swallow the moon but we don't know our own hand
        C                Em     G                   C
We're running with the case but we ain't got the gold
            G             C             G
Yet we're trying to leave something behind
            G           C       G
My friends I believe we are at the wrong fight
        C           G           Em
And I cannot read what I did not write
        C                Em     G               C
I've been to his house, but the master is gone
            G             C             G
But I'd like to leave something behind
            G           C       G
There is a beast who has taken my blame
        C           G           Em
You can put me to bed but you can't feel my pain
        C                Em     G               C
When the machine has taken the soul from the man
            G             C             G
It's time to leave something behind
     C          Em              G               C
Oh money is free but love costs more than our bread
                     G          D
And the ceiling is hard to reach
        C       Em      G          C
Oh the future ahead is already dead
            G             C             G
But I'm trying to leave something behind
            G           C          G
I got this feeling that I'm still at the shore
        C           G           Em
And pockets don't know what it means to be poor
        C                Em     G               C
I can get through the wall if you give me a door
G                 C             G
So I can leave something behind
     G                     C            G
Oh wisdom is lost in the trees somewhere
        C           G           Em
You're not going to find it in some mental gray hair
        C               Em      G       C
It's locked up from those who hurry ahead
        G         C             G
And it's time to leave something behind
     C          Em              G               C
Oh money is free but love costs more than our bread
                     G          D
And the ceiling is hard to reach
        C       Em              G               C
When my son is a man he will know what I meant
        G         C             G
I was just trying to leave something behind
        G         C             G
I was just trying to leave something behind
