{start_of_verse: Verse 1}
[D]You, who are on the [G]road,
Must have a [D]code, that you can [Asus]live by. [A]
And [D]so, become your[G]self,
Because the [D]past, is just a [Asus]goodbye. [A]
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus}
[D]Teach, your children [G]well,
Their father's [D]hell, did slowly [Asus]go by [A]
And [D]feed, them on your [G]dreams
The one they [D]pick's, the one you'll [A]know by.
{end_of_chorus}
{start_of_bridge: Bridge 1}
[D] Don't you ever ask them [G]why,
If they told you, you would [D]cry,
So just look at them and [Bm]sigh, [G] [A]
And know they [D]love you.

{start_of_verse: Verse 2}
And [D]you, (can you hear and)
Of tender [G]years, (do you care and)
Can't know the [D]fears, (can you see we)
that your elders [A]grew by (must be free to)
And so please [D]help, (teach your children)
Them with your [G]youth, (you believe and)
They seek the [D]truth, (make a world that)
Before they [A]can die, (we can live in)
{end_of_verse}
{start_of_chorus: Chorus}
[D]Teach, your parents [G]well,
Their children's [D]hell, will slowly [Asus]go by. [A]
And [D]feed, them on your [G]dreams,
The one they [D]pick's, the one you'll [A]know by.
