1.     You say you want to seek the truth,      but it’s hard to find,

Am                D                    G                   D           C        F    C    G

    no one to help you, your friends don’t have the time, hey hey hey.

G              C       G                   C                          D  A

    So you ride around in your car, switch on the radio,

Am                      D        - Am                          D 

    you want to relate to         something you once read in your book,

Am                        D        G      D        G

    what kind of a way to try to take a look.

 

C                    D                          - C           D          G   

    Until I got hurt, I was looking,       I was on my way,

                 C                      D                 - C                 D             G

until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling,        I painted my face grey.

                  C                  D

Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, why didn’t I,

C               D          G                   C

    I didn’t think of this until I got hurt,

               D            - C                  D                  G

till I got hurt, baby,       I didn’t know what love is.

2.   You say you want to learn to laugh ‘cause music makes you cry,

Am            D                            G    D          C      F    C    G

    but the tears you shed are only in your eye, hey hey hey.

G              C                   G          C                D        A

    So you turn to any phoney mouse with a tale to tell,

Am                        D                                  - Am              D

    but he’s just a hoaxer, don’t you know,         selling peace and religion

Am                   D                     G          D          G

    between his jokes and his karma chewing gum.         +  CHORUS

 

       Bm    Em   C                  G                Am

+  Young son, don’t let me down, young son,

     Em                               Am   D                  G

    I’m trusting you to keep on, never turn away now.

     Bm  Em  C            G                Am  Em                                       Am

    Hold on, never let go, now hold on, turn your heart to the bright sun.

      D                              G               A                                    D 

    Love will come your way, ‘cause till you make that final show, oho,

G                       Em           C                           D

    you’ll never know what love you’ve been missing.

3.    You say you want to seek the truth,      but you work alone,

Am                 D                      G           D           G     F    C     G

    no one to help you and nobody to push you on, hey hey hey.

G              C        G                            C             D       A

    So you sit at home, drinking your wine, television on,

Am                       D        - Am                        D                              Am

    you wait for a miracle,     ‘cause you say one day one’ll come along.

                         D                 - Am          D                                      Am

    But wishful thinking, boy,         any minute now, you might be gone,

                     D                                G                     D       - G

    I’d like to help you brother, but that would be wrong.

 

C                    D                          - C           D          G   

    Until I got hurt, I was looking,       I was on my way,

                 C                      D                 - C                 D             G

until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling,        I painted my face grey.

                  C                  D

Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, why didn’t I,

till I got hurt, baby,       I didn’t know what love is.     +  Oh no !
