what they think is right

drift between

our waking life and

all of our dreams
  Em
Reality is 
G            D
relative and all 
that's all the 
C
advice I'll give
Em       G         D
Life and death are hard
C             Em      G
  They're such strange 
    D           C
and complicated issues
   Em         G
So listen and listen 
D   C    Em     G
well for insight

but no one knows

what's right for you


Chorus 3:
 C               G
"Who will save us now? It's 
              Am
a wrong and irrelevant question 
        C           G
Because we figure it out
with the people who love us
    Am
Who call us half brothers
    C
for lessons we've learned
        D
for our fathers and mothers
    Am
not looking for someone
   C
to find our solutions 
D
Fight all our battles 
   Am
or show us what truth is 
        C
It's by working hard to 
find our own peace of mind
D
Living and learning until we 
                         Em    G D C Em-G-D-C
know what's right for our lives
