[Verse 1]
D Am7 C Cmaj9 G
I was looking for the answer as in some fairy tale
D Am7 C Cmaj9 G
Somebody said there’s a man here and all his life he has just failed
D Am7 C Cmaj9 G
You only learn from the losers, this I am sure
D Am7 C Cmaj9 G
And as I walk down this old street, I heard him talking as he walked in the door
[Bridge]
F G7/F F G7/F C
How do I know that I’m not dreaming?
F G7/F F G7/F C
How do I know this is for real?
G Am
Or that my destiny has not been written
G Am G F
And that my fate has not been sealed
Am G F
Been sealed
[Verse 2]
D Am7 C Cmaj9 G
I said my life is like a straight line, but no that’s not true at all
D Am7 C Cmaj9 G
It’s more like a series of accidents, and into each new situation I fall
D Am7 C Cmaj9 G
Ah man, I get so tired of thinking I’m like a dog who’s watching TV
D Am7 C Cmaj9 G
Cuz I know something is happening, but I don’t know what’s happening to me
[Bridge]
F G7/F F G7/F C
Take one thing that you are sure of
F G7/F F G7/F C
You can be sure that one thing will be taken away
G Am
Ah everything is lonely here there are no owners
G Am G F
It all came to pass not to stay
Am G F
Not to stay
[Interlude]

F G7/F F G7/F C
Try to accept that you’ll keep searching
F G7/F F G7/F C
That’s the thing you will do for most of your life
G Am
And all these answers they just don’t exist here
G Am G F
Here lies the question and they rule your life
Am G F
Rule your life
