[G] When I was a caveman painting on the walls, I never had a dollar, [C] man I had it all.
And I was very high in the order [G] of things,
[C] just one step and I'd spread my [G] wings to fly.
Oh I would [C] fly,
[G] [C] [G]
[C] oh just one step, one step and I'd spread my [G] wings to fly.
[D] [C] [G]
[C] [G] When I was a liar, screaming at the wall, I never heard a whisper, I [C] could not hear it all.
And I could only cry for pity of me.
[G]
[C] Never know the truth, might [G] set me free, might set me [C] free.
[G] [C] [G]
[C] All around we go, these faces show, they leave and everyone [G] seems ever real.
And [C] each one is truly mine, they never last, but at the time it's [G] hard to feel.

[C] [G] When I was a dreamer, floating through the walls, nothing was forever, [C] I could change it all.
And I could live [G] with my [C] heart on my [G] sleeve, [C] I could save you soul, I [G] do believe, I [D] do [C] believe.
[G] [C] [G]
[C] Oh I could save your soul, I could have saved your soul, I [G] do believe, I [D] do [C] believe.

[C] [G] Then I'll be an old man, staring at the wall, looking for an answer to [C] make sense of it all.
And I can safely say, that [G] if it comes my [C] way it will not stay [G] for long.
[C] And I'll be on my way [G] before it's gone, before it's [C] gone.
