Verse 1:
-------

D    '              G
You, who are on the road
G            D   '            Asus2  A
Must have a code that you can live by
    D    '      G
And so, become yourself
G           D    '         Asus2  A
Because the past is just a goodbye
D      '            G
Teach your children well
G              D        '       Asus2  A
Their father's hell did slowly go by
     D        '        G
And feed them on your dreams
G             D         '         Asus2  A
The one they pick's the one you'll know by


Chorus:
------

D         '             G
Don’t you ever ask them why,
       G                    D
If they told you, you would cry,
       D                 Bm   '
So just look at them and sigh,
 G    A        D
And know they love you.

Verse 2:
-------

And you (Can you hear?) of tender years 
(And do you care?)
Can't know the fears 
(And can you see?)
That your elders grew by 
(We must be free)
And so, please help 
(To teach your children)
Them with your youth 
(What you believe in)
They seek the truth 
(Make a world)
Before they can die 
(That we can live in)


Verse 3:
-------

And teach your parents well
Their children's hell will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they pick's the one you'll know by


Chorus:
------

Don't you ever ask them, "Why?"
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
