[Verse 1]
G C G
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 5]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 6]
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
