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 G 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
C 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 brain
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
C G D
And the ceiling is hard to reach
C Em G C
Oh the future ahead is already dead
G C G
So 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
C 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
