Am 
You've been huntin' round for treasure 
Fmaj7 
Find it all in the simple pleasures 
C                                 E7 
I don't understand this life you lead 
Am 
Tryna be somebody else and 
Fmaj7 
Tryna be the one's who help 
C                                 E7 
Wanna find the one who helps you breathe 

           Fmaj7 
Maybe it's all a big mistake 
         A 
And you live on all you take 
          G        D                  A 
From the lives that have always been close 

Fmaj7 
I've been roaming around for hours 
C       G         Am   G  Fmaj7 
Singing all your songs of praise 
                       C 
How on earth can I complain 
                      G 
How in hell can I be safe 
                      E7 
This sudden fear of change 
                      Am 
This sudden fear is strange 

(Am Fmaj7 C G  D) 
(Fmaj7 C   G  D   Am) 

Am 
Tryna understand your ways 
Fmaj7 
You hide them with convulsive rage 
C                              E7 
Tried to be the best you could be 
Am 
People finding the most pleasure 
Fmaj7 
All within the smallest treasures 
C                           E7 
This don't seem possible to me 

               Fmaj7 
And maybe it's all that you've done wrong 
         A 
So just bite your silver tongue 
         G         D            A 
That you lied with, lied to yourself 

Fmaj7 
I've been roaming around for hours 
C       G        Am    G  Fmaj7 
Singing all your songs of praise 
                       C 
How on earth can I complain 
                     G 
How in hell can I be safe 
                     E7 
This sudden fear of change 
                    Fmaj7 
This sudden fear is strange

Singing all your songs while 
Fmaj7                         C 
Standing at the edge about to fall 
                          G 
Faces crushed against the wall 
                    E7 
The sudden fear of singing all your songs of 
Fmaj7                          C 
Staring into space I hear the sound 
                           G 
From a voice that's never found 
                    E7 
The sudden fear is strange
