Chords

[Intro] C F C G [Verse 1]
C                  F
You who are on the road,

            C                   G
must have a code that you can live by

     C             F
And so, become yourself

            C              G
Because the past is just a goodbye.

C                    F
Teach your children well,

               C               G
Their parent's hell did slowly go by

   C                  F
And feed them on your dreams.

              C                       G
The ones they picked, the ones you'll know by.
[Chorus] (Be aware that tempo changes)
C                       F
Don't you ever ask them why.

                            C 
If they told you, you would cry.

                         Am   F  G (mute)
So just look at them and sigh.

               C       F G (mute)
And know they love you.
[Verse]
    C               F
And you, of tender years,

               C                      G         
can't know the fears that your elders grew by.  

       C                           F
And so please, help them with your youth

              C                 G
They seek the truth before they can die.

C                  F
Teach your parents well.

                 C                G           
Their children's hell will slowly go by.

    C                 F            
And feed them on your dreams. 

              C                       G
The ones they picked, the ones you'll know by.
[Chorus] (Tempo changes)
C                       F
Don't you ever ask them why.

                            C 
If they told you, you would cry.

                         Am   F  G (mute)
So just look at them and sigh.

               C       F G (mute)
And know they love you.
[Outro] (Strum C)
C
And know they love you.
