-Verse 1-

A C#m F#m

You talk too much.

Maybe that's your way

Of breaking up the silence

A C#m F#m

That fills you up.

But it doesn't sound the same

When no one's really listening

A E

We stumble into our lives

F#m D

Reach for a hand to hold.

And any wonder

We need to find

F#m D

A certain something, certain.

-Chorus-

F#m

Turn out the light

E D

And what are you left with?

F#m

Open up my hands

E D

And find out they're empty.

F#m

Press my face to the ground

E D

I've gotta find a reason.

F#m

Just scratching around

E D

For something to believe in

Something to believe in.

-Verse 2-

A C#m F#m

You have too much.

You're spending all your time

Collecting and discovering

F#m E D

It's not enough.

And no matter how you try,

You never find the one you want.

A E

We stumble into our lives

F#m D

Without a hand to hold.

And any wonder

We need to find

F#m D

A certain something, certain.

-Chorus 2-

F#m

Turn out the light

E D

And what are you left with?

F#m

Open up my hands

E D

And find out they're empty.

F#m

Press my face to the ground

E D

I've gotta find a reason.

Still scratching around

For something to believe in

Something to believe in.
