🎸 Verse 1:
D MajorD
Maybe all the world is insecure
G+G
Maybe all of us are looking for a cure
B minorBm G+G
Maybe something that can finally reassure, maybe
D MajorD
We're chasing after money like a dog
G+G
But the money's never gonna be enough
B minorBm G+G
No, it's never gonna take the place of love, maybe
D MajorD
I'm still looking for the truth
G+G
But I can't seem to find it in the news
B minorBm G+G
Maybe I'll start singing like the blues, maybe
D MajorD
The days start feeling like the nights
G+G
Like it's just anothеr way to lose a fight
B minorBm G+G
Like I'm the only onе who's looking for the light, maybe
🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Dsus2Dsus2 AsusAsus
If only I could open up my eyes

Would the truth be what would set me free?

Would I see that maybe I need you
Like you need me?

And the new year dawns
B minorBm FF G+G C majorC
And the old year's drifting on and on

Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun
🎸 Verse 2:
D MajorD
Everyday begins to feel the same
G+G
Like I'm waiting on the wind to go and change
B minorBm G+G
But there's no one but myself to blame lately
D MajorD
I'm staring and despairing on the screen
G+G
Turning everything that's real into a meme
B minorBm G+G
But the feeds that I read don't feed me what I need
🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Dsus2Dsus2 AsusAsus
Oh, if only I could open up my eyes

FF A augmentedA D MajorD
Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun
D MajorD G+G
And I still take a run?:
B minorBm FF G+G C majorC
To be somewhere that still needs broken, longing songs
FF G#G# C majorC FF
Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun
G#G# C majorC FF
Around the sun
G#G# C majorC FF
Around the sun
G#G# D MajorD G+G
Around the sun
B minorBm G+G
Ooh, ooh
🎸 Verse 3:
D MajorD
The questions that we're too afraid to ask
G+G
'Cause the present is the future of the past
B minorBm G+G
'Cause the river is the same, but moving fast lately
D MajorD
And maybe every other is a weed
G+G
Maybe differences are easier to see
B minorBm G+G
Than a family we are that's underneath, maybe

D MajorD
Like you need me
G+G
And the new year dawns

Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun

And I'm looking in your eyes
D MajorD FF G+G D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA
I see reflections of the sea reflecting the sky (I see myself looking at you, looking at me looking up)
G+G D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA
The sky (I see myself looking at you looking at me)
G+G D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA
I start to recognize that I need you
G+G D MajorD B minorBm A augmentedA
I start to recognize that I need you
D MajorD G+G B minorBm
Like you need me
G+G
Like I need you
D MajorD
Like you need me
