Verse 1:
F                                           A#             A#m
 When you were born, you were born with an open mind and way
         C                 Bm                   A#
Then the folks around you showed you what they knew
             A7                    Dm
They did the best that they could do
            F              A#
But you had dreams of new perspectives
    C   F         C              Em
How special, you manifest the best bits
A7                                     D
'Til you start to shake hands with new folks
                     G
But it gets old soon enough
       Gm                  D
You're over it and you're onto something
E                     G
That gives you plenty more
F#7               Bm
Satisfaction and control
        D                G
Looking around at other people
           C#
Now you're alone
          E           C7
But isn't everyonе? The answer might unfold, wait

Verse 2:
F                                        Dm                   C#
Now you're saving up for somеthing that just might make the change
   C               B                A#
It doesn't matter if you're making money
       A7                Dm
You'll always have your brain
          C                A#
No matter where you go on earth
                     G *  F *
You can feel just as stuck
     Em
Will you live a nomad's lifestyle?
            A7
Or will you pay the rent this month?
      D
Oh my God
                   D /C
Smoking cigarettes now
                     G
Being someone you're not

Because it's a lot
           D                 E                G
And you're doing things for all the wrong reasons
          F#                      Bm
And your job's just not what you want
             D                  G
You've gotta find your own way out
                 Em
And find someone else
   A7
To share this unsure life with
    C7
And not be by yourself

 Chorus:
F
One of these days
                A#/D                   A#
You'll find the love of your life to hold
          F                  G            A#
You'll be where you need to be together somewhere
              A7                   Dm
And you'll be right there growing old
           D                  A#
That'll be fine for time has gone
                       Gm
Oh, the lessons you've learned

The things that brought you questions
      A
Now a group of pointless words
         D
One more time
        D /C                      G /B
Did you work out the meaning of life?
                  Gm
Quick, before you go
         A            Em            G
Could it be the only thing we ever learn?
         F#           Bm
Or do we never truly know?
         A               G            Em
You only find it out as soon as you leave
    A
And sleep forever peaceful
C
End of cycle
