[Verse]
I am Gsearching for Em7something
that Cadd9I cannot Dsee,
GDon’t know where it Em7is,
Cadd9don’t know how it’ll Dfeel.
GDon’t know where to Em7look,
Cadd9don’t know if I should Dflee,
This Gquest is Em7unending, do Cadd9I want to be Dfree?
[Pre-chorus]
GIt is cold and Em7I am alone,
Cadd9warming up and Dsipping tea,
This Gquest is Em7unending,
but I’m Cadd9doing it to be a better Dme,
My Gbrother always Em7told me
to be Cadd9honest and Dloyal,
I Gdidn’t keep my Em7promise, and Cadd9now I hear
him quietly saying “I Dtold ya.”
G  Em7  Cadd9  D
[Chorus]
GWhat do I do to Em7regain their trust,
Cadd9that’s what I want to Dknow,
I Gnow understand what Em7I did wrong,
now the Cadd9years have passed and DI have
grown.
I Gleft them alone in the Em7worst of times,
Cadd9without knowing that I Ddid,
I am Gtrying hard to Em7fix it,
but it’s like a Cadd9puzzle where a Dpiece doesn’t fit.
[Verse]
GMaybe I have to pay em a Em7visit,
Cadd9maybe that is the Dway,
To Gregain an old Em7friendship,
Cadd9that was still going Don last May.
GThere is Em7still hope, and I’m still marching forward,
Cadd9thinking about how it’ll Dbe,
To Gsee my old Em7friends again,
and to Cadd9tell them that I am a Dbetter me.
G  Em7  Cadd9  D
[Pre-chorus]
GSmile on my face and Em7getting closer
Cadd9to where I want to Dbe,
ExGcited to say Em7hello and feel the Cadd9warmth
of their friendship inDside of me.
GHave they forgotten me, or Em7am I still known,
GDo they apprecEm7iate the fact that
I’ve Cadd9come so far Dalone?
[Chorus]
GWhat do I do to Em7regain their trust,
Cadd9that’s what I want to Dknow,
I Gnow understand what Em7I did wrong,
now the Cadd9years have passed and DI have
grown.
GI’ve been feeling lonely for Em7way too long,
I Cadd9need someone to Dkeep me close.
GThis is the moment of Em7ultimate relief,
Cadd9knowing that my Dfriends are pleased.
G  Em7  Cadd9  D
[Chorus]
GWhat do I do to Em7regain their trust,
Cadd9that’s what I want to Dknow,
I Gnow understand what Em7I did wrong,
now the Cadd9years have passed and DI have grown.
I Gcouldn’t wish for Em7anything more, to be Cadd9safe
in this house up Din the north,
GPlaying board games Em7all day long, Cadd9not a thing
that’s Dgoing wrong.
GFeeling that feeling I’ve Em7had for so long,
Has Gcome back to me in a Dform that’s
just as Gstrong.
