  			Intro: F G Am Em F G Am Em 
 
F                        G 
You're wieghed down with regret 
Am                Em  
You can't see the road ahead 
F      G              Am    G     
Or the burden on your back 
F                      G     
It seems the trek will never end 
Am                     Em 
The winding paths that still descend 
F      G             Am     
And up above the sky washed black 
F        G                     F               
You just can't bear to look at that 
 
Chorus: 
 
C                 Am-G   
Follow the signs, open your eyes  
Dm                  
Read between the lines of what you see 
F                      
Look into the soul of reality 
C                           Am-G 
Open your mind, look at the signs 
Dm                 
Never look back at yesterday 
F                                         
Keep your gaze steady on the narrow way 
 
Refrain: F G Am Em F G Am  
 
F                G 
Now you find the sacred tree  
Am                 Em 
You kneel upon the brken wheat 
F              G           Am  Em    
You watch your burden fall away 
F                        G 
And all the things which you once sought 
Am              Em   
Now are counted less than lost 
F          G        Am    
For now you see the light of day  
F              G                F       
The signs were pointing all the way 
 
REPEAT Chorus 
 
C               Am   G 
Open your eyes, look at the signs 
Dm              F  
Open your mind, follow the signs 
 
REPEAT Chorus
