    G#m                   C#             G#m          D#   F#   G#m    C#  G#m  D# F#
You thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night

             G#m            C#           G#m         D#       F# G#m    C#  G#m  D# F#
But when you wake up in the mornin', the world still gets you up-tight

              E
Well, there’s nothin' that you ain’t tried

   G#m           G      B    Fdim
To fill the emptiness inside

             E
But when you come back down

                        D#
You still ain’t feelin’ right
[Chorus]
                  B                       E
And it seems like kicks just keep gettin’ harder to find

             B                    E
And all your kicks ain’t bringin’ you peace of mind

           B
Before you find out it’s too late

               D#
You better get straight

             G#m    C#  G#m
But not with kicks

    B    F#   G#m      C#  G#m  D# F#
You just need help now
[Verse 2]
    G#m                C#              G#m             D# F# G#m   C#  G#m  D# F#
You think you’re gonna find yourself a little piece of pa-ra-dise

       G#m            C#  G#m         D#     F#    G#m   C#  G#m  D# F#
But it ain’t happened yet, so now you better think twice

          E
Don’t you see no matter what you do

       G#m        G        B    Fdim
You’ll never run away from you

       E
If you keep on runnin'

                       D#
You’ll have to pay the price
[Chorus]
                   B                       E
Don't it seem like kicks just keep gettin’ harder to find

             B                    E
And all your kicks ain’t bringin’ you peace of mind

           B
Before you find out it’s too late

               D#
You better get straight

             G#
But not with kicks
[Bridge]
(G#)        Fm
To help you face the world each day

              C#
That road goes nowhere

          D#                             B
I’m gonna help you find yourself another way
