To Leave Something Behind Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I cannot say that I k[C]now you w[G]ell
But you can't [C]lie to me
[G]with all these [Em]books that you sell
I'm not [C]trying to follow [Em]you
to the [G]end of the [C]world
I'm just [G]trying to leave [C]something [G]behind

[Verse 2]
[G]Words have come from [C]men and [G]mouse
But I [C]can't help [G]thinking
that I've [Em]heard the wrong crowd
When all the [C]water is [Em]gone my [G]job will be [C]too
And I'm just [G]trying to leave [C]something [G]behind

[Bridge 1]
Oh [C]money is [Em]free
but love costs [G]more than our [C]bread
And the ceiling is [G]hard to [D]reach
Oh the [C]future [Em]ahead is [G]broken and [C]red
But I'm [G]trying to leave [C]something [G]behind
[G][G]

[Verse 3]
[G]This whole world is a [C]fo reign [G]land
We [C]swallow the [G]moon
but we don't [Em]know our own hand
We're [C]running with the [Em]case
but we [G]ain't got the [C]gold
Yet we're [G]trying to leave [C]something [G]behind

[Verse 4]
Oh my [G]friends I believe
we are [C]at the wrong [G]fight
And [C]I cannot r[G]ead what I[Em] did not write
I've [C]been to His [Em]house,
but the [G]master is [C]gone
But I'd [G]like to leave [C]something [G]behind

[Verse 5]
Oh [G]there is a beast who has [C]taken my [G]blame
You can [C]put me to [G]bed
but you [Em]can't feel my pain
When the ma[C]chine has [Em]taken
the [G]soul from the [C]man
It's [G]time to leave [C]something [G]behind

[Bridge 2]
Oh [C]money is [Em]free
but love costs [G]more than our [C]bread
And the ceiling is [G]hard to [D]reach
Oh the [C]future [Em]ahead is [G]al ready [C]dead
And I'm [G]trying to leave [C]something [G]behind
[G][G]

[Verse 6]
[G]I got this feeling that I'm s[C]till at the s[G]hore
And [C]pockets don't [G]know
what it [Em]means to be poor
I can [C]get through the [Em]wall
if you [G]give me a [C]door
So [G]I can leave s[C]omething b[G]ehind

[Verse 7]
Oh [G]wisdom is lost in the [C]trees [G]somewhere
You're [C]not going to [G]find it in some
[Em]mental gray hair
It's [C]locked up from [Em]those who [G]hurry [C]ahead
And it's [G]time to leave [C]something [G]behind

[Bridge 3]
Oh [C]money is [Em]free
but love costs [G]more than our [C]bread
And the ceiling is [G]hard to [D]reach
When my [C]son is a [Em]man
he will [G]know what I [C]meant
I was just [G]trying to leave [C]something [G]behind
I was just trying to leave [C]something [G]behind
