Dm C G

Could you let down your hair

A Bb

And be transparent for a while

Just a little while

Bb A

See if your human after all

Dm C G A Bb

Honesty is a hard attribute to find

A Bb A

When we all want to seem like we've got it all figured out

Dm C G Bb

I may be the first to say that I don't have a clue

I don't have all the answers

Bb A

And God I pretend like I do just

C G Bb A

Trying to find my way

C G Bb A

Trying to find my way the best that I know how

Dm C G A Bb

Well I haven't memorized all the cute things to say

But I'm working on it

Bb A

Maybe I'll master this art form someday

Dm C G A Bb

if I quote all the line off the top of my head

And you'd believe

Bb A

that I fully understand all of these things Ive read

C G Bb A

Im just trying to find my way

C G Bb A

Trying to find my way

C G Bb A

Trying to find my way the best that I know how

Em Am F C G

Well I havent drawn it or figured out quite yet

Em Am

But even if it takes my whole life

F C G

To get to where I need to be

Em Am F C G

And if I should fall to the bottom of the end

F G

I'll be one step back to you

F C Bb A

I'm trying to find my way

F C Bb A

Trying to find my way

C G Bb A

Oh, I'm trying to find my way

C G Bb A

Trying to find my way
