  Cmaj7             Em7

  So hard to answer future's riddle

        Fmaj7           F6       Fmaj7   F6

  When ahead is seeming so far behind

  Cmaj7              Em7

  So hard to laugh a child-like giggle

           Fmaj7          F6         Fmaj7   F6

  When the tears start to torture my mind

  G                   Dm7

  So hard to shed the life of before

     F7     F7/C     F7        F7/C

  To let my soul automatically soar

  

        C               F                F7

  But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah

  C                  F            F9

  Knock down all the roadblocks a-stumbling me

  C                 Dm7               F/D#       F9  F6/9  F7  F7/C

  Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

  

  Cmaj7                Em7

  Sew up the wounds of evolution

          Fmaj7         F6        Fmaj7   F6

  And the now starts to get in my way

  Cmaj7                Em7

  So what if life's a revelation

         Fmaj7          F6     Fmaj7   F6

  If the mind speaks of only today

     G                 Dm7

  So real, the pain of growing in soul

     F7       F7/C    F7      F7/C

  Of climbing up to reality's goal

  

  

  But I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah

  Knock down all the roaddblocks a-stumbling me

  Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

  

  F                   Dm7

  Long promised road, trail starts at dawn

          Em7                Am      Asus   Am  Am9

  Carries on to the season's ending

  F                   Dm7

  Long promised road, flows to the source, 

         Em7          Am     Asus   Am     Em7/H

  gentle force, never ending, never ending

  

     Cmaj7   Em7

  So hard to lift the jeweled sceptre

           Fmaj7          F6         Fmaj7   F6

  When the weight turns a smile to a frown

     Cmaj7   Em7

  So hard to drink of passion nectar

           Fmaj7           F6         Fmaj7   F6

  When the taste of life's holding me down

     G                 Dm7

  So hard to plant the seed of reform

     F7     F7/C        F7          F7/C

  To set my sights on defeating the storm

  

  So I hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah

  Knock down all the roadblocks a-stumbling me

  Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

  

  Am G6  Em7 F  (c h)

  Am G6  F   F F7 F6

  

  C

  Hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah

  Knock down all the roadblocks a-stumbling me

  Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

  

  Oh, yeah-eah-eah-eah

  

  Hit hard at the battle that's confronting me, yeah

  Knock down all the roadblocks a-stumbling me

  Throw off all the shackles that are binding me down

  F7

  I'd love to see you

  C

  I'd love to see you

  F

  I'd love to see you

  C

  I'd love to see you

  F

  I'd love to see you

  C

  I'd love to see you
