I was wanting someone to talk to

D#maj7
Needing to let myself out

Am7                 D7               Gmaj7    D7
Knowing beyond a doubt the past is behind me. There was

Gmaj7               Bb7
Nowhere but here to walk to

D#maj7
Letting the time go by

Am7              D            Gmaj7     G
Trying to see if I could ever find me
[Bridge]

It didn't seem to make much sense

Dm7                Gm7                  Cm7            F7
Thinking about the dent I'd made in the world to date

Bb         Dm7
"Was I too late?", you say

Gm7         Cm7                  Am7    D7
Should I create today or let it be?
[Verse 2]
    Gmaj7               Bb7
Now needing a hand to cling to

Lucky I was to find

Am7                D7              Bm7
Someone of similar mind to stand behind me

Em7                      Am7
Not letting dazzlement blind me

D                    Bm7
Showing me where to find me

Em7                Am7         D
Willing to just be kind, oh-oh-oh

            Gmaj7    D7
And stand behind me

Showing me where to find me

Willing to just be kind, oh-oh-oh

And stand behind me
