C
[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
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
