        F                                     Am
The sum of all my fears like dread are from demons yet to come
        Bb                                   Dm               C
All the things I should've mentioned wave goodbye and "we'll see you soon"
        F                                     Am
It's the words I've never written that say more about myself
        Bb                        Dm                  C
Where empty is the promise lies a pocket full of doubt

Chorus:

        F                     Dm
So may the road I've yet to take
        F                 Dm
Leave a smile across my face
        F                    C             Am
'Till the laughter sheds the darkness far behind
                F          Bb    C
For I still belong in the cradle of humankind

Though my time may be less traveled than those that came before
        Bb                                Dm                C
We're all exiles here in madness kicking down each other's door
    F                            Am
Unforgiven is the lesson we pour upon ourselves
        Bb                         Dm                     C
When a helping hand is needed, slap in the face is what we get


          F               Dm               F            Dm
But I will fight for this right and each moment of it's life
          F              C                 Am
'Till I witness all the differences yet to heal

For I still belong in the cradle of humankind

Sometimes drink till I am empty, grab another from the shelf
           Bb                                Dm                 C
Though I'm stuck in conversation, it's with myself and no one else
        F                           Am
Never listen to much reason till I hear it's a last call
        Bb                             Dm           C
When I notice that my ghost is still dancing on his own

            C
Wherever you go
(The sun sets to rise
On a day that you find
You Struggle to be
But you're already there)
             F
Wherever you go

           C
Wherever you go
(A passionless life
Has no words to write
It's a body that's broken
And breathless of life)
               F
Oh, wherever you go


               Bb                               F
There'll always be a roof and a dream above our head
               C         Bb                  F
As long as I'm breathing, then forever I'll be

          F               Dm               F            Dm
Ah, I will fight for this right and each moment of it's life
          F              C                 Am
'Till I witness all the differences yet to heal

Leave a smile across our face
        F                    C             Am
'Till the laughter sheds the darkness far behind
                F          Bb    C
We still belong in the cradle of humankind
