Intro: C F C F 

Em                         C 
  I spent some time in Carolina 
Em                                  C                 G 
  Thought those mountains out there just might do the trick 
Am                           C 
Two weeks of sunsets took my breath 
Am                          C             G 
But I still remember what I went there to forget 

            C 
I'm lookin' for a place 
           G 
To turn my heart around 
            Am 
Where I can hear your name 
        F 
Without breaking down 
           C 
What I was lookin' for 
              G 
Wasn't in the mountain air 
                 Am     C 
But I gotta start somewhere 

Em                                C 
  So I'm gonna take a chance this evening 
Em                          C               G 
  On someone who just might sweep me off my feet 
Am                            C 
He holds me close, I close my eyes 
Am                     C            G 
I see your face, and I realize that I'm 

              C 
Still lookin' for a place 
           G 
To turn my heart around 
            Am 
Where I can see your face 
        F 
Without breaking down 
        C 
Dancing in his arms 
                  G 
I didn't find the answer there 
                  C 
But I gotta start somewhere 

G                                  C 
 Thought I could drown your memory in a glass 
G                              Am 
Thought time might fix the way I feel 
F 
 But after all I've tried I'm still 

(KEY CHANGE) 

        D 
Lookin' for a place 
           A 
To turn my heart around 
            Bm 
Where I can hear your name 
        G 
Without breaking down 
                 D 
Tonight I'll get on my knees 
             A 
Pray to find healing there 
                    Bm    G 
Lord, I gotta start somewhere 
(NO CHORD)           D  A 
I've gotta start somewhere
