[E] You can read all the signs but you will never [B7] go You can [B] say all is fine but you never really [E] know You can run for the hills or you can toe the [B7] line Or [B] forget you forgot to try and grow a [E] spine [E] So Let’s try, let’s try let’s try and get a[B]long You should [B7] stop in see me on your way back [E] home It’s all right, all right I know we’ll never see eye-to-[B]eye But [B7] we can get along and travel this road side-by-[E]side [E] [B] [A] [E] [E] Its plain that your hurtin’ I won’t salt your wound And [E7] you can try and change the facts a[A]round But [B] it won’t be true, no matter what you do If you get lost you won’t be [E] found [E] So lets go, let’s go it’s safe to turn your back on [B] me You [B7] never stopped believing that your faith will set you [E] free It’s true it’s true I reject your solemn [B] prophecy But [B7] we can get along and make it through this life [E] can’t we? [E] [B] [A] [E] [E] Oh you say it all the time that your busy prayin’ for my [B7] soul So I [B] smile and pretend that you are in con[E]trol You can fill your mind with stories and hope that they’re all [B7] true Or stop [B] lying to yourself and sniffin’ that crazy [E] glue [E] So Let’s try, let’s try let’s try and get a[B]long You should [B7] stop in see me on your way back [E] home It’s all right, all right I know we’ll never see eye-to-[B]eye But [B7] we can get along and travel this road side-by-[E]side [E] [B] [A] [E] [E] Its your heart that’s burdened your pain is showing But [E7] you could try a little less crow[A]ing But [B] that won’t do much, unless you let go of that crutch And drop that rusted old [E] wing [E] So lets go, let’s go it’s safe to turn your back on [B] me You [B7] never stopped believing that your faith will set you [E] free It’s true it’s true I reject your solemn [B] prophecy But [B7] we can get along and make it through this life [E] can’t we?
