Verse 1:
F#m7F#m7             F# minorF#m
I won’t stop searching 'til I find it
D MajorD            E MajorE
Lost  like memories when I was a kid
F#m7F#m7          F# minorF#m
Is  it in crystals or a sound bath
D MajorD               E MajorE
Or the things I dreamt up, but I never did?
        F#m7F#m7
I’ve looked all over, seeing double
   F# minorF#m
Do  I need a single eye?
     Dmaj7Dmaj7           E MajorE
I  need a mail order guru like those mail order brides
F#m7F#m7
They say it’s all in meditation
      D MajorD        E MajorE
But  when I sit still, I’m afraid what I’ll find

Pre-Chorus:
F#m7F#m7
A minorAm I gonna get better?
D MajorD
Did I drink the Kool-Aid?
E MajorE
A minorAm I looking in all the wrong places?
E MajorE
Is  my body just space?


Chorus:
F#m7F#m7           D MajorD
I got that American Spirit
          E MajorE
It's searching for what I can’t find
        F#m7F#m7   D MajorD
I’m looking in holy rivers
          E5E5  E MajorE
I pray that she’ll show me a sign


Verse 2:
F#m7F#m7          F# minorF#m
If I let go of holding tightly
D MajorD           E MajorE
Will I see Jesus in a stranger tonight?
F#m7F#m7        F# minorF#m
The devil hides in Coca-Cola
D MajorD             E MajorE
But if I’m high, will I be more qualified?
F#m7F#m7               F# minorF#m
'Cause in my Elvis Presley record I found the light
D MajorD                   E MajorE
And my books say I’m a badass for just $12.99
F#m7F#m7           F# minorF#m
Maybe I’ll trace it to my family
     D MajorD           E MajorE
But maybe some things, should be buried alive
