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

FF DmDm
So may the road we've yet to take
FF DmDm
Leave a smile across our face
FF C majorC A minorAm
'Till the laughter sheds the darkness far behind
FF A#A# C majorC DmDm
We still belong in the cradle of humankind
..................................................
