Maybe all the world is insecure
      G
Maybe all of us are looking for a cure
      Bm                                     G
Maybe something that can finally reassure, maybe

We're chasing after money like a dog

But I can't seem to find it in the news
      Bm                                    G
Maybe I'll start singing like the blues, maybe

The days start feeling like the nights

Like it's just anothеr way to lose a fight
             Bm                                       G
Like I'm the only onе who's looking for the light, maybe

Dsus2           Asus
If only I could open up my eyes
Bm                                   G
Would the truth be what would set me free?
Dsus2           Asus
If only I could open up my eyes
Bm                            G
Would I see that maybe I need you

Like you need me?


🎸 Chorus:
D                 G
And the new year dawns
Bm                 F        G      C
And the old year's drifting on and on
                   F      A         D    G Bm G
Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun


🎸 Verse 2:
D
Everyday begins to feel the same
         G
Like I'm waiting on the wind to go and change
            Bm                             G
But there's no one but myself to blame lately
    D
I'm staring and despairing on the screen
        G
Turning everything that's real into a meme
        Bm                                       G
But the feeds that I read don't feed me what I need


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
    Dsus2           Asus
Oh, if only I could open up my eyes
Bm                                   G
Would the truth be what would set me free?
Dsus2           Asus
If only I could open up my eyes
Bm                            G
Would I see that maybe I need you
                 D
Like you need me?

D                 G
And the new year dawns
Bm                 F        G      C
And the old year's drifting on and on
                   F      A         D
Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun
D                 G
And I still take a run?:
Bm                               F        G      C
To be somewhere that still needs broken, longing songs
                   F      G#        C    F
Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun
  G#       C    F
Around the sun
 G#        C   F
Around the sun
 G#        D    G
Around the sun
Bm   G
Ooh, ooh


🎸 Verse 3:
    D
The questions that we're too afraid to ask
           G
'Cause the present is the future of the past
           Bm                                    G
'Cause the river is the same, but moving fast lately
    D
And maybe every other is a weed
      G
Maybe differences are easier to see
       Bm                                 G
Than a family we are that's underneath, maybe


🎸 Chorus:

Like you need me
                  G
And the new year dawns

And the old year's drifting on and on

Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun
                        G
And I'm looking in your eyes
D                        F      G                      D                 Bm              A
I see reflections of the sea reflecting the sky (I see myself looking at you, looking at me looking up)
    G          D                 Bm             A
The sky (I see myself looking at you looking at me)

Like you need me
            G
Like I need you
                D
Like you need me
