    F - C - G

 

        G                    Bm   D         G   - Bm                     C              D 

1. I guess growing isn’t hard to do,          just stand against the wall,

G               F          C                      Am        F           D   

    once I was just two feet high, today I’m six feet  tall.

 

              G         Bm      D      G  - Bm                      C         D    

2. But knowing who to listen to,         is something else again,

G                       F       C                              Am       - F              D   

    words just whistle round my head, like seasons       in the wind.

 

 G                     F              C              D

All across the water the clouds are sailing,

   G                        F               C    - D

they won’t let me look at the sky.

 G                 F                  C

All I want to do is try and find myself.

  G                        D                 C      -  G

come and let me look in your eyes.

 

          G           Bm         D       G   - Bm                      C         D 

3. In searching for the way to go,          I’ve followed all the rules,

G                          F           C                           Am         - F                D   

    they way they say to choose between the wise man      and the fool.

 

      G         Bm         D              G   - Bm                    C             D 

4. I listened to the words they say,         I read what I should read,

       G         F         C                       Am        F             D   

    I do whatever’s right to do, try to be what I should be.

 

  G                       F                    C        D

Someone let me in, I think the sky is  falling,

   G                    F                C    - D

seems I gotten lost on my way.

 G                 F                   C  

All I want to do is try and find myself,

  G                         D                C  

come and let me look in your eyes,

  G                         D                C          - G

come and let me look in your eyes.

5. But wisdom isn’t underground,         nor on a mountain side.

          G        F     C                             Am           F         D   

    Where am I to take myself, there’s no place here to hide.

         D7         

    Where can I hide ?

 

 G                    F                    C           D

All across the universe the stars are fadin',

   G                            F                 C    - D

seems we've gotten lost on our way,

 G                 F               C  

all I want to do is try to find myself,

  G                         D                C  

come and let me look in your eyes,

  G                         D                C  

come and let me look in your eyes,

  G                         D                C       - G

come and let me look in your eyes.
