[Verse 1]
E A E
I used to want people to love me, so I learned how to sing
E C#m A F#m
Then I thought I wanted money, so I could buy nice things
E E/D# C#m A E
But when I found it was as empty as could be
E C#m A F#m
And now I'm starin' at my face above a bathroom sink
[Chorus 1]
E C#m A E
Sayin' I want peace, it's where I am now
E E/D# C#m A E
It's the only thing I haven't found, somehow
E C#m A F#m
There are other places, there are a million pretty faces
E E/D# C#m A E
But I want peace, it's where I am now
[Verse 2]
E A E
I used to worry about the future, but the future never came
E E/D# C#m C#m/B A F#m
Tried livin' in the past, but never did quite feel the same
E E/D# C#m A E
I used to think that there was a place I would rather be
E C#m A F#m
'Til I got there enough times to realize that you are only ever here
[Chorus 2]
E A E
That's when I found peace with where I am now
E E/D# C#m A E
It's the only place I'll ever be, I've found
E C#m A F#m
There are other places, filled with a million pretty faces
E E/D# C#m A E
But I found peace with where I am now
[Bridge]
A
Through the ups and downs
F#m E
I have figured out you find peace where you make it
B
Scenery won't change it
A
And I wasted so much time
F#m C#m B A
Thinkin' I could ever find enough of an - y - thing
C#m B A
That would bring me peace
[Chorus 3]
E A E
So I found peace with who I am now
E E/D# C#m A E
It's the only me I'll ever be, I've found
E E/D# C#m A F#m
There are other places, there are a million other faces
E E/D# C#m A E
But I found peace with who I am now
E A E
I used to want people to love me, so I learned how to sing
E C#m A F#m
Then I thought I wanted money, so I could buy nice things
