     G                   Em
Well I've been trying to re-learn my name

   D            G
It seems like a thousand years

     Em                         D     
I've been out of frame and I surrender

    G
The truth is what

          Em    
What I've needed from you

D         G                    Em      
I've been floating within your walls of opinion

D       G
And I'm tired - I only want the truth

C                          
 (I have tried so hard not to be like them

G                                 G/B
 I have found they don't ever say what they mean)

C                             Em   G
 There is a truth, there is a light

Am                 G     
If you'd follow me there

C
 (I've been searching for the directions and

G                                     G/B
 I'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needs)

C                        Em      G
 There is a hope for the hopeless

Am                G
I can promise you that

           G
Yeah, well I've been accosted
The jury's been partial
    G
But I won't surrender

                        G
To prove to you I won't lie

                        Em
Under pressure of compromise

D             G                      
Yeah, well an absolute measure
Won't change with opinion
   Em                     
No matter how hard you try

          D       G
It's an immovable thing

                               Em           
Just like the visions in your bed

                           D      C
Or when they're streaming in your head

C                          
 (I have tried so hard not to be like them

G                                 G/B
 I have found they don't ever say what they mean)

C                             Em   G
 There is a truth, there is a light

Am                 G     
If you'd follow me there

C
 (I've been searching for the directions and

G                                     G/B           C
 I'm convinced the world doesn't know what it needs)

           Em   G     
There is a hope

Am            G
And I'll come back

          C
If you're leading my hand
The world is so broken
    G
I'm tripping my steps

                 G/B    C
I'm slipping and I know why
Em G-Am I never thought that I'd be here
            G            C                  
A blinding call to prayer has touched my feet
Like the call of the prophets
  G                                 G/B      C
A purpose is needed before you know that you know

                          Em  G
To never wonder what you are

    Am                          G
And not forget where you come from
Interlude: G C G/B D G C G/B D
G              C                         G/B
 Is it really love you've been speaking of?

    D               G
Uh? What'd you say? What'd you say?

C                           G/B
What'd you say? Yeah, yeah, yeah

    D 
Oh, what'd you say?

G
 I said that you need me, don't you?
Interlude: C G G/B C
           Em  G
There is a truth

Am                G
I can promise you that

C
 (I have tried so hard not to be like them

G                                 G/B
 I have found they don't ever say what they mean)

C    Em  G  Am     
 Yeah, yeah eh

G   C           
The truth

    G               G/B C
The truth stands in the end

             Em  G    Am      G  C
While you're deciding what to do

    G               G/B C
The truth stands in the end

             Em  G    Am        G
While you're deciding what to do
