I cannot say that I know you well

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

I'm just trying to leave something behind

And the ceiling is hard to reach
        C     Em        G         C
Oh the future ahead is broken and red
        G               C           G

I've been to His house, but the master is gone

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

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
 
[Verse 6]
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

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
 
[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
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
