🎶 To Leave Something Behind

tone A
==

Verse 1:
[Bbm]I cannot say that I [Cb]know you [Bbm]well
But you [Cb]can't lie to [Bbm]me with all these [Ab]books that you sell
I'm not [Cb]trying to [Ab]follow you to the [Bbm]end of the [Cb]world
I'm just [Bbm]trying to leave [Cb]something [Bbm]behind

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

Chorus:
Oh [Cb]money is [Ab]free but love costs [Bbm]more than our [Cb]bread
And the [Cb]ceiling is [Bbm]hard to [D]reach
Oh the [Cb]future [Ab]ahead is [Bbm]broken and [Cb]red
And I'm [Bbm]trying to leave [Cb]something [Bbm]behind

Verse 3:
[Bbm]This whole world is a [Cb]foreign [Bbm]land
We [Cb]swallow the [Bbm]moon but we don't know our own [Ab]hand
We're [Cb]running with the [Ab]case but we ain't [Bbm]got the [Cb]gold
And we're [Bbm]trying to leave [Cb]something [Bbm]behind

Verse 4:
[Bbm]My friends I believe we are [Cb]at the wrong [Bbm]fight
And I [Cb]cannot [Bbm]read what I did not [Ab]write
I've [Cb]been to His [Ab]house, but the [Bbm]master is [Cb]gone
But I'd [Bbm]like to leave [Cb]something [Bbm]behind

Verse 5:
[Bbm]There is a beast who has [Cb]taken my [Bbm]brain
You can [Cb]put me to [Bbm]bed but you can't feel my [Ab]pain
When the [Cb]machine has [Ab]taken the [Bbm]soul from the [Cb]man
It's [Bbm]time to leave [Cb]something [Bbm]behind

Chorus:
Oh [Cb]money is [Ab]free but love costs [Bbm]more than our [Cb]bread
And the [Cb]ceiling is [Bbm]hard to [D]reach
Oh the [Cb]future [Ab]ahead is [Bbm]broken and [Cb]red
But I'm [Bbm]trying to leave [Cb]something [Bbm]behind

Verse 6:
[Bbm]I got this feeling that I'm [Cb]still at the [Bbm]shore
And [Cb]pockets don't [Bbm]know what it means to be [Ab]poor
I can get [Cb]through the [Ab]wall if you [Bbm]give me a [Cb]door
So [Bbm]I can leave [Cb]something [Bbm]behind

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

Chorus:
Oh [Cb]money is [Ab]free but love costs [Bbm]more than our [Cb]bread
And the [Cb]ceiling is [Bbm]hard to [D]reach
When my [Cb]son is a [Ab]man he will [Bbm]know what I [Cb]meant
I was just [Bbm]trying to leave [Cb]something [Bbm]behind
I was just [Bbm]trying to leave [Cb]something [Bbm]behind⠀⠀
