Intro:

C

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
