Standard (EADGBE)

  ( | ) (notes added to chord)

People say to see is to believe

Then they just believe in that they can perceive

What they see is not the total view

Filtered between the me and you

  But I'm trying so hard, just to tell you I care

  And I've wanted so long, to tear it all away, tear it all away

  ( | ) (notes added to chord)

People say well you just had to be there

And all the time you know they've never been there

And it makes me sad to sit and think

All those empty souls are nearly at the brink

  But I'm trying so hard, just to open my eyes

  To seeing some things, that tear it all away, tear it all away

  ( | ) (notes added to chord)

People grow up and learn to drive some car

But I did that and it doesn't get you far

The things you want are never to be found

And in the end it's all some running round

  But I'm trying so hard, just to keep to myself

  The things that I hope, will tear it all away, tear it all away

  I thought you would know, I thought you would know

  ( | ) (notes added to chord)

People say they think that they are sure

But then they turn away and don't go back no more

What they saw was not the perfect sight

Just their own face reflected in the night

  But I'm trying so hard, just to tell you it's now

  And I'm gonna keep on trying, to tear it all away, tear it all away
