[Verse 1]
C
I have a memory
      Dm7                            C
Of a time and place where history resigned

Now, my apology
        Dm7                            C
All the light came in to fulminate my mind

[Verse 1]
C                       Gm7
Reach out, reach out to all the ones who came before you
F
  Ponder what is right
Dm7
You and I, in defiance
C                             Gm7
Speak out, speak out, the conversation may afford you
F
  Wisdom of the wise
Dm7
You and I, in defiance

[Prechorus]
C F/C C Bb F/A

C
And I come from conscience
F/C
Where there is no conjugation
C                        Bb              F/A
   I would rather be the flower than the ocean
C                     F/C
And I held myself as something of an innovation
C                        Bb              F/A
   I would rather be devoured than be broken

[Chorus]
C/G                    F/A
All my life I tried so hard to separate myself
     Em                             Bb     F
From all that is and was and will be torn apart
C/G                  F/A
You were running unafraid
                                Em
I know you, but I've changed my way
                   Bb      F
You know I take it all to heart

[Bridge]
F            Em                   G
  Home is where you called my name
F            Em                   G
  I've gone as far as the eye can blame
F            Em                   G
  You said love may have lost its way

[Chorus]
C/G                    F/A
Now my life has spent erased and what I gave
            Em                        Bb        F
I gave for you and for myself and for the holy name
C/G                  F/A
You were running unashamed
                             Em
And yours is mine and all remains
                   Bb      F
As nothing ever stays the same

[Chorus 3]
C                       Bb
Reach out, reach out to all the ones who came before you
G                       F
Reach out, reach out to all the ones who came before you
C                       Bb

Reach out, reach out and all at once the pain restores you
G                       F

Reach out, reach out and all at once the pain restores you
Bb              F/A           C/G
All at once the pain restores you

[Outro]

C
I have a memory
      Dm7                            C
Of a time and place where history resigned
C
Now, in my reverie
          Dm7                            C
For the guiding light that opened up my mind
