[Intro]
Fmaj9 - F - Fmaj9 - F
A - E - D - F#m - E
A - E - D - F#m - E - D
[Verse]
A Asus2
I wish I was someone else
D F G
I'm confused I'm afraid I hate the loneliness
A Asus2
And there's nowhere to run to
D
Nothing makes any sense
F G F
But I still try my hardest
G F
Take my hand
G
Please help me man
[Chorus]
A E D F#m E
'Coz I'm looking for something to believe in
A E
And I don't know where to start
D F#m E D
And I dont' know where to begin, to begin
[Verse] - same chords as above
If I was stupid or naive
Trying to achieve what they all call contentness
If people weren't such dicks
And I never made mistakes
Then I could find forgiveness
Take my hand
Please help me man
[Chorus] - same chords as above
'Coz I'm looking for something to believe in
And I don't know where to start
And I dont' know where to begin, oh no
[Interlude]
| Fmaj9 - F | x10 (trust me I counted)
A Asus2
I can't be someone else
Fmaj9 F
I don't feel that it's hopeless
G
I don't feel that I'm useless
A E
I can't throw it all away
D F#m E
I need some courage to find my weakness
A E
And with your love
D F#m E
I know with all my heart I can win
[Chorus] - same chords as above
'Coz I'm looking for something to believe in
And I just need something to believe in...
