I Know What Im Looking For Now

Tom: Em

INTRO: C  Am    D  C  G  C  G


Well, I got here early trying to decide
            Bm
If there was nothing to hope for or nothing inside
      C                 G                C
But a mixed up girl with plenty to hide
                  D
From the light of day


       G
Then a friend made me laugh, bought me a drink
  Bm
I walked in this garden, started to think
     C               G                 C
What little I know is quick as a wink
                         D
But I've know a real long time


CHORUS:
G
I know what I'm looking for now
                            C     G
I know what I'm looking for now
     C                  Bm
This world will mix you up
C                 Am
Oh, and bring you down
D               C           G     C  G  C
I know what I'm looking for now


      G
Well, everyone's looking, they're not sure at what
        Bm                                          C
Holding onto illusions like it's all that they got
                             G            C
Putting a mystery where a mystery is not
                D
Can you tell me why?


            G                                     Bm
When you can light up a stranger just passing by
                                                  C
Start revolutions with the glint in your eye and
                         G                  C
Sing 'Hallelujah' with a breath or a sigh
                      D
And still know the way home


CHORUS:
G
I know what I'm looking for now
                            C     G
I know what I'm looking for now
     C                  Bm
This world will mix you up
C                 Am
Oh, and bring you down
D               C           G     C  G  C  D
I know what I'm looking for now


BRIDGE:
             C          G     D
All of these miles I've come
             C           G            B7
All of these dreams I've chased in my mind
                           C          D
All for something small and simple to find


INSTRUMENTAL: G     C  G  C  Bm  C  Am   D  C  G  C  G


So you did what you could, you meant what you said
    Bm                                  
You look like an angel, so hold up your head
  C                G               C
A little lost here, ain't so bad
                         D
That ain't the reason to cry


CHORUS:
G
I know what I'm looking for now
                            C     G
I know what I'm looking for now
     C                  Bm
This world will mix you up
C                 G
Oh, and bring you down
     C                  Bm
This world will mix you up
C                 G
Oh, and bring you down
     C                  Bm
This world will mix you up
C                 Am
Oh, and bring you down
D               C           G   
I know what I'm looking for now
