[Intro]
[Dsus2] [G] [Bm/F#] [G]
[Dsus2]Maybe all the [G]world is insecure, maybe
[Bm/F#]All of us are [G]looking for a cure, maybe
[Dsus2]Something that can [G]finally reassure, maybe
[Bm/F#]We're chasing after money [G]like a drug, but the
[Dsus2]Money's never gonna [G]be enough, no, it's
[Bm/F#]Never gonna take the [G]place of love, maybe
[Dsus2]I'm still looking for [G]the truth, but I
[Bm/F#]Can't seem to find it [G]in the news, when it
[Dsus2]All starts singing [G]like the blues, maybe
[Bm/F#]The days start feeling [G]like the nights, like it's
[Dsus2]Just another way to [G]lose a fight, like I'm
[Bm/F#]The only one who's [G]looking for the light, maybe
[Dsus2]If only I could [G]open up my eyes
[Bm/F#]Would the truth be [G]what would set me free?
[Dsus2]If only I could [G]open up my eyes
[Bm/F#]Would I see that maybe I [G]need you like you need me?
[Dsus2]And the [G]new year dawns
[Bm/F#]And the old year's [G]drifting on and on
[Dsus2]Like my doubts in [G]orbit around the sun
[Bm/F#]♪
[G]Every day begins to [Dsus2]feel the same, like I'm
[G]Waiting on the wind to [Bm/F#]go and change, but there's
[G]No one but myself [Dsus2]around to blame lately
[G]Staring and despairing [Bm/F#]on the screen, turning
[G]Everything that's real into [Dsus2]a meme, but the
[G]Feeds that I read don't [Bm/F#]feed me what I need
[G]If only I could [Dsus2]open up my eyes
[G]Would the truth be [Bm/F#]what would set me free?
[G]If only I could [Dsus2]open up my eyes
[G]Would I see that [Bm/F#]maybe I need you
[G]Like you [Dsus2]need me?
[G]And the [Bm/F#]new year dawns
[G]And the old year's [Dsus2]drifting on and on
[G]Like my doubts in [Bm/F#]orbit around the sun
[G]And I still [Dsus2]don't think I'm wrong
[G]To be so earnest [Bm/F#]in these broken, longing songs
[G]Like my doubts in [Dsus2]orbit around the sun
[G]Around the sun, around [Bm/F#]the sun, around the sun
[G]♪
[Dsus2]The questions that we're too [G]afraid to ask, 'cause the
[Bm/F#]Present is the future [G]of the past, 'cause the
[Dsus2]River is the same [G]but moving fast, lately
[Bm/F#]Maybe every "other" [G]is a "we", maybe
[Dsus2]Differences are easier [G]to see, than the
[Bm/F#]Family we are [G]that's underneath, maybe
[Dsus2]Like you [G]need me?
[Bm/F#]And the [G]new year dawns
[Dsus2]And the old year's [G]drifting on and on
[Bm/F#]Like my doubts in [G]orbit around the sun
[Dsus2]And I'm looking [G]in your eyes
[Bm/F#]I see reflections of [G]the sea reflecting the skies
[Dsus2](I see myself, [G]looking at you)
[Bm/F#](Looking at [G]me, looking at)
[Dsus2]The skies (I see [G]myself, looking at you)
[Bm/F#](Looking at [G]me, looking at)
[Dsus2]I start to recognize [G]that I need you
[Bm/F#]I start to recognize [G]that I need you
[Dsus2]Like you [G]need me
[Bm/F#]♪
[G]Like I need you, [Dsus2]like you need me
