C Am Dm
You can tell a changing heart
F C G
Their face a smile and yet there is no joy
C Am
They look for wealth no matter what the cost
Dm F C G
You're someone else that they might just destroy
Am D7
So many people gather round
Dm
A thousand voices lift their praise
F C
For you have reached the top
G
So they give you all they got
Am D7
But when you're singing from the soul
Dm
They fail to see your final goal
F C
They only tell you that
G
You have a long ways left to go
C Am
So you rhyme the changing rhyme
Dm F C G
With one wheel spinning and one on the ground
C Am
Then falling victim to the game of time
Dm F C G
You place your name out in the lost and the found
Am D7
So many people gather round
Dm
A thousand voices lift their praise
F C
For you have reached the top
G
So they give you all they got
Am D7
But when you're singing from the soul
Dm
They fail to see your final goal
F C
They only tell you that
G
You have a long ways left to go
<harmonica break>
Am D7

But when you're singing from the soul

They fail to see your final goal
F C
They only tell you that
G
You have a long ways left to go
