[Verse 1]
Hello sunshine, what's your name today?
Well you look so graceful but I'm not faithful
Do you really want to be with me?
Hello summer, should I say goodbye?
Well it's been so long but I'm still thinking
If it's worth another try
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9 (strum once)
Well I've got a lot to talk about
Dadd4add9 (strum once)
If you still want to listen or if you even care
[Chorus]
Cadd9
I'm just trying to find my place in this world
Dadd4add9
And I know it's not so right to feel this way about a girl
C Dadd4add9
But if you stay or if you go I'm right here with you
Cadd9
But you know that I'm looking for more than a pretty smile
Dadd4add9
And if I'm lucky you can stay for a while
Cadd9 Dadd4add9
But if you stay or if you go, I'm just hanging on again
[Verse 2]
Hello stranger, we haven't had a past
Now I learned so much, so much that time's going by so fast
Cadd9 Dadd4add9
Hello beautiful, it's so obvious that you're hearing every word
Cadd9 Dadd4add9
Are you sad? You know, you know
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9 (strum once)
That I've got a lot to talk about
Dadd4add9 (strum once)
If you still want to listen or if you even care
[Chorus]
Cadd9
I'm just trying to find my place in this world
Dadd4add9
And I know it's not so right to feel this way about a girl
Cadd9 Dadd4add9
But if you stay or if you go I'm right here with you
Cadd9
But you know that I'm looking for more than a pretty smile
Dadd4add9
And if I'm lucky you can stay for a while
Cadd9 Dadd4add9
But if you stay or if you go, I'm just hanging on again
[Bridge]
Cadd9 Dadd4add9 Cadd9 Dadd4add9
How I'd love to say, how I'd love to say
Cadd9 (strum once)
That I'm so glad I've found my place in this world
D (strum once)
And it's alright to feel this way about a girl
Cadd9 (palm mute) Dadd4add9
But if you stay or if you go, I'm right there with you
Cadd9
But you know that I'm looking for more than a pretty smile
Dadd4add9
And if I'm lucky you can stay for a while
Cadd9 Dadd4add9
But if you stay or if you go, I'm right there with you, right
[Chorus]
Cadd9
I'm just trying to find my place in this world
