The Cradle of Humankind Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G][D][G][Gm][A][D]
[A]The sum[D] of all my fears like
dread, are from [F#m]demons yet to come
All the [Bm]things I should've mentioned,
wave [E]goodbye and "we'll see you [A]soon"
It's the [D]words I've never written
that say [F#m]more about myself
Where [Bm]empty is the promise,
lies a [E]pocket full of [A]doubt

[Verse 2]
[A]So may the [D]road I've yet to [Bm]take
Leave a [D]smile across my [Bm]face
Till the [D]laughter sheds the
[A]darkness far [F#m]be hind
For [D]I still belong in the [A]cradle of humankind
[G][D][G][D]

[Verse 3]
[A]Though my
[D]time may be less traveled,
than [F#m]those that came before
We're all [Bm]exiles here in madness,
kicking [E]down each other's [A]door
Unfor[D]given is the lesson,
we [F#m]pour upon ourselves
When a [Bm]helping hand's is needed,
a slap in the [E]face is what we [A]get

[Verse 4]
But I will [D]fight for this [Bm]right and each
[D]moment of it's [Bm]life
Till I [D]witness all the [A]differences yet to [D]heal
[A]So may the [D]road I've yet to [Bm]take
Leave a [D]smile across my [Bm]face
Till the [D]laughter sheds the
[A]darkness far be[F#m]hind
For I still be[D]long in the
[A]cradle of humankind
[G][D][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]Som[A]etimes drink [D]till I am empty,
grab an[F#m]other from the shelf
[D]Though I'm [Bm]stuck in conversation,
it's with my[E]self and no one [A]else
Never [D]listen to much reason
till I [F#m]hear it's last call
When I [Bm]notice that my ghost
is still [E]dancing on his [A]own
So may the [D]road I've yet to

[Verse 6]
[Bm]take
Leave a [D]smile across my [Bm]face
Till the [D]laughter sheds the
[A]darkness far be[F#m]hind
For I still be[D]long in the [A]cradle
of human[D]kind
Wherever you [A]go

[Verse 7]
Wherever you [D]go
Wherever you [A]go
Oh, wherever you [D]go
There will always [G]be a roof and a dream above our

[Verse 8]
[D]
heads
As long as I'm [A]breathing,
[G]then forever I'll [D]be
[G]Ah, I will [D]fight for this [Bm]right and
each [D]moment of it's [Bm]life
Till I [D]witness all the [A]differences yet to [D]heal
[A]So may the [D]road we've yet to

[Verse 9]
[Bm]take
Leave a [D]smile across my [Bm]face
Till the [D]laughter sheds the
[A]darkness far be[F#m]hind
We still be[D]long in the [A]cradle of humankind
[G][A][D][G][A][D][A]
