They said seek and ye shall find

All I ever found was this trouble in my mind

One of these days I will set myself free

Ain't no one else who can put the bite on me

But until then,        I'll do it again

They said seek and ye shall know

Em                        G            D             C   Am
All I ever sought was a heaven here below, or so it goes

D        D/F#      G            C   Am

All I ever saw was this dream that I can't keep

One little wheat field yields a little grain

G                             D                   D/G
Rough times, tough times are all one and the same

C               C/B  D                 D/F# G
But as for now,        time don't allow

All that you hold dear like the laughter you keep hearing through the years

They said ask and it shall be

Em                          G                  C D
And all I can tell you is, baby, it ain't free

D                         Em
One more request and then I'll be on my way

G                            D                   D/G
I've paid the price, love, start a brand new day

C               C/B  D                  D/F# G
But until then,        let us be friends

Em                        G               D                C   Am
All I ever drank made me wind up on the floor and what is more

D      D/F#       G                C   Am
A mind turned to rust, that's for sure

      D     D/F#  G
Will return into dust

             C    Am
Through the years

D      D/F#       G           C    Am
