Lyrics

Reach Out From Within (Strickler)

Intro: Riff played on guitar with light spacy add-ons

Verse One:
E/G# A C#m B E/G# A C#m B
I've been searching for a fix for days now
I just cant seem to make it along
I've got to make up my mind on where I'm going
the future's here and the past is gone
I cannot believe in a rock and a hard place
with an innocent's head placed in-between
No matter what you can never be more
than the people you love and the things you've seen
A C#m B
If you would ask me a question
I could show you the way
I've got big ideas in my head
D F#m E
but I have nothing to say (x3)

Verse Two: same musically as verse one
Welcome to the inferno
We're so glad you came
I've seen your face and I know your type
and believe me we're all the same
You're just like me, you are wondering
what the future holds for you
It's allright if you get confused
It's the only thing that we all can do
So don't you give up now
when life's about to begin
if you want to make it in this werld
You've got to reach out from within (x3) (jam on D-F#m-E)

Bridge: A/D-G walkdown to E walkup to G down to E up to G up to A: break...

Verse Three: same musically as verse one but end section repeats the
A-C3m-B motif
So once again I'm trying to help others
when the problem's me and I just cant see
I've got to make up my mind on where I'm going
and be all the things that I want to be
How can the weight of the world be on my shoulders
when it seems to keep on passing me by
It's allright if you get confused
there's so much to do before you die
So when you wake up tomorrow find out what is wrong
find the pieces to the puzzle learn the words to the song
Then you assemble the pieces and sing as loud as you can
There's nothing more that I can do for you To help you understand.
(whole last section repeated)
