Hợp Âm Chuẩn
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I went searching for the truth
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
But in my innocence I found
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
All the con men and their acrobats
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Who stomped me in the ground
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
If I count up their percentages
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I know they're getting rich
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
But they haven't taken everything
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Those paybacks are a bitch
ch]C[/ch
Though I've lost quite a lot
ch]G[/ch
I am still in control
ch]C[/ch
They can keep what they've got
ch]A[/ch
But they can't have my soul
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And if I don't have this all worked out
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Still I'm getting closer, getting closer
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
I still have far to go no doubt
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
But I'm getting closer, getting closer
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
What was ripped off by professionals
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Is not all that it seems
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
While I must live up to contracts
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
I did not give up my dreams
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
If I see it as experience
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
It hasn't gone to waste
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Lately all the missing pieces
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
Have been falling into place
ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And if I could go back and start over somehow
ch]C[/ch
I would not change that much
ch]A[/ch
Knowing what I know now
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Thought there have been sins
ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
I will regret
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Still I'm getting closer, getting closer
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
I don't have all the answers yet
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
But I'm getting closer, getting closer

ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I'm a mark for every shyster
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
From Topanga to Berlin
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
And I should have learned to kick them out
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
As soon as they crawled in
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
So to every bank in Switzerland
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
That stores my stolen youth
ch]A[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
I'm alright because despite the laws
ch]Em[/ch] [ch]A[/ch
You cannot hide the truth
ch]C[/ch
And although you will say
ch]G[/ch
I am still too naive
ch]C[/ch
Well I have not lost faith
ch]A[/ch
In the things I believe
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
And if I don't have a this all worked out
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
Still I'm getting closer, getting closer
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]Bm[/ch
I still have far to go no doubt
ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]A[/ch] [ch]D[/ch
But I'm still getting closer, getting closer
