I'm still looking for something,

I'm out here under the streetlight, baby, I'm

[tab]  F
I might be giving up something

You don't get something for nothing, baby

F                              Dm
Nothing you can hold up to the light

If all I find is freedom, it's alright

And I knew since I was just little

    Dm
The sharp edges of the world will whittle

     Bb             C                F
Your dreams down to shavings at your feet

      Bb
Gonna do my best not to settle

  Dm
I know it's gonna test my mettle

To keep my options open, even so I'm hoping

 Still looking for something in the night

I know I'm headed for somewhere

   Bb              C
We all dream about somewhere, baby

We all want to go where life is bright

    Bb                   C                F
You don't want to end up nowhere, but you might

      Bb
And I knew since I was just little

    Dm
The sharp edges of the world will whittle

     Bb           C              F
Your expectations into something else

      Bb
And I know beyond the tough titty

Dm
Somewhere there's a heart in the city

  Bb                                               C
And I'm out here to find it, and the soulful smile behind it

I'm out here under the neon, baby

 Still looking for something in the night

You don't get something for nothing, baby

You don't give up on love without a fight

   Bb              C                 F
If I don't find it this time, it's alright

      F                     Dm
Gonna keep my options open, even though I'm hoping

    Bb              C              F
For something I can hold up to the light

F                                    Dm
Don't know that I'll find it, or the soulful smile behind it

   Bb            C               F
If all I find is freedom, it's alright
