[Verse]
Dm
Listen to me, just hear me out, if I could have your attention
Gm Bb C Dm
Just quieten down for a voice in the crowd (in the crowd)
Dm
I get so confused and I don't understand
Dm
I know you feel the same way you've always wanted to say
Gm
But you don't get the chance
Bb C Dm
Just a voice in the crowd (in the crowd)
Bb
I don't know the score anymore
Dm
It's not clear anymore
Bb
I can't tell right from wrong anymore
Dm
I just don't understand
[Verse]
Dm
I was just sitting here thinking of exchanging a new world for old
Dm
Like changing channels on the tv, or the dirt we stand in to gold
Dm
When I was young my father told me just bad guys die
Dm
At the time just a little white lie
Gm
It was one of the first but it hurt me the most
Bb
And the truth stung like tears in my eyes
Bb7/Ab
That even the good guys must die
Gm
There's no reasoning no crimes and I never knew why
F#sus2
Even now it still makes me cry
[Chorus]
F C/F Bb/F C F C/F Bb/F
If there's somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
C Bb
Just a little helping hand, just a little understanding
Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C F
Just some answers to the questions that surround me now
C/F Bb/F C F C/F Bb/F
If there's somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
Bb C
Just a little guiding light to tell wrong from right
Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C
Just some answers to the questions that I'm asking you
Bb F/A Gm Dm
I keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
Bb F/A Gm Dm
Where nothing here is ever what it seems
Bb F/A Gm Dm
You stand so close but you never understand it
Bb C/Bb Bb C/Bb Dm
For all that we see is not all that it seems, am I blind?
[Verse]
Dm
And you sit there and talk revolution
Dm
But can you tell me just who's in command?
Gm
When you tell me the forces we're fighting
Bb
Then I'll join you and gladly make plans
Dm
But for now only our t-shirts cry freedom
Dm
And our voices are gagged by our greed
Gm
Our minds are harnessed by knowledge
Bb
By the hill and the will to succeed
Bb7/Ab
And if that's not what you believe
Gm
Would you just let me know I'm not standing alone
F#sus2
That I'm not just a voice in the crowd
[Chorus]
F C/F Bb/F C F C/F Bb/F
If there's somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
C Bb
Just a little helping hand, just a little understanding
Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C F
Just some answers to the questions that surround me now
C/F Bb/F C F C/F Bb/F
If there's somebody up there, could they throw me down a line
Bb C
Just a little guiding light to tell wrong from right
Csus4 C Csus4 C Csus4 C
Just some answers to the questions that I'm asking you
Bb F/A Gm Dm
I keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
Bb F/A Gm Dm
Where nothing here is ever what it seems
Bb F/A Gm Dm
You're reaching out, you're so close you can touch it
Bb C/Bb Bb C/Bb
But it all disappears when it's always so near
Bb C/Bb Bb C/Bb
But one day we will find that we stand in the light
[Chorus]
C Bb F/A Gm Dm
Until then I'll keep a vigil in a wilderness of mirrors
Bb F/A Gm Dm
Nothing here is ever what it seems
Bb F/A Gm Dm Bb
I'm scared to shout in case I draw attention from the powers
C/Bb Bb C/Bb
That preside over our minds and our lives
Bb C/Bb Bb C/Bb Dm
When they find what I want is the deadliest weapon, that is truth
[Verse]
Dm
Day by day it's getting louder
Dm
And day by day it's getting stronger
Bb Dm/A
But when I can't scream no more and I need reassurance,
Ddim
I listen to the crowd
[Outro]
Ddim
And the boy stood and stared at the hill; and the hill - it stared back
