D
It's far beyond your reach
   Bm
it holds a place in time
Em
Somewhere ahead is the
 G
back of the line.
   D
I can't relate to
 Bm
your mistakes,
Em
awkwardly speaking
      G
with nothing to say.

Caught up in your life,
excuses are so lame
You may be different,
but I'm still the same
The reasons that you thought,
the intention that you caught
You say things are simple,
we both know they're not

Em                G
You can't let it go
D  Bm G
Whoa
Em               G
You can't but I know
D Bm G D         Bm          G
Whoa    Whoa you don't even know

Chorus:
D            Bm       G
It's not in what you do
          A
more in what you say - x4

A million questions asked,
the remnants of the past
You've always been denied,
but always by your side
I've always tried to,
to understand you
The world's not learning from you

Chorus:
It's not in what you do,
more in what you say
It's not in what you do,
more in what you say
(Whoa-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh)
It's not in what you do,
more in what you say
(Whoa-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh)
It's not in what you do,
what you do...
