Cmaj7             Em7
So hard to answer future's riddle

      Fmaj7           F6       Fmaj7   F6
When ahead is seeming so far behind

Cmaj7              Em7
So hard to laugh a child-like giggle

         Fmaj7          F6         Fmaj7   F6
When the tears start to torture my mind

G                   Dm7
So hard to shed the life of before

   F7     F7/C     F7        F7/C
To let my soul automatically soar

      C               F                F7
But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah

C                  F            F9
Knock down all the roadblocks a-stumbling me

C                 Dm7               F/D#       F9  F6/9  F7  F7/C
Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

Cmaj7                Em7
Sew up the wounds of evolution

        Fmaj7         F6        Fmaj7   F6
And the now starts to get in my way

Cmaj7                Em7
So what if life's a revelation

       Fmaj7          F6     Fmaj7   F6
If the mind speaks of only today

   G                 Dm7
So real, the pain of growing in soul

   F7       F7/C    F7      F7/C
Of climbing up to reality's goal

But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

F                   Dm7
Long promised road, trail starts at dawn

        Em7                Am      Asus   Am  Am9
Carries on to the season's ending

F                   Dm7
Long promised road, flows to the source, 

       Em7          Am     Asus   Am     Em7/H
gentle force, never ending, never ending

   Cmaj7   Em7
So hard to lift the jeweled sceptre

         Fmaj7          F6         Fmaj7   F6
When the weight turns a smile to a frown

   Cmaj7   Em7
So hard to drink of passion nectar

         Fmaj7           F6         Fmaj7   F6
When the taste of life's holding me down

   G                 Dm7
So hard to plant the seed of reform

   F7     F7/C        F7          F7/C
To set my sights on defeating the storm

So I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah Knock down all the roadblocks a-stumbling me Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down Am G6 Em7 F (C H) Am G6 F F F7 F6
