Intro: C  Am    D  C  G  C  G 


Well, I got here early trying to decide 
            Bm 
If there was nothing to hope for or nothing inside 
      C                 G                C 
But a mixed up girl with plenty to hide 
                  D 
From the light of day 


       G 
Then a friend made me laugh, bought me a drink 
  Bm 
I walked in this garden, started to think 
     C               G                 C 
What little I know is quick as a wink 
                         D 
But I've know a real long time 


 
G 
I know what I'm looking for now 
                            C     G 
I know what I'm looking for now 
     C                  Bm 
This world will mix you up 
C                 Am 
Oh, and bring you down 
D               C           G     C  G  C 
I know what I'm looking for now 


      G 
Well, everyone's looking, they're not sure at what 
        Bm                                          C 
Holding onto illusions like it's all that they got 
                             G            C 
Putting a mystery where a mystery is not 
                D 
Can you tell me why? 


            G                                     Bm 
When you can light up a stranger just passing by 
                                                  C 
Start revolutions with the glint in your eye and 
                         G                  C 
Sing 'Hallelujah' with a breath or a sigh 
                      D 
And still know the way home 


 
G 
I know what I'm looking for now 
                            C     G 
I know what I'm looking for now 
     C                  Bm 
This world will mix you up 
C                 Am 
Oh, and bring you down 
D               C           G     C  G  C  D 
I know what I'm looking for now 


Bridge: 
             C          G     D 
All of these miles I've come 
             C           G            B7 
All of these dreams I've chased in my mind 
                           C          D 
All for something small and simple to find
