F Bb C
[Verse 1]
F
I'm still looking for something,
Bb C
I'm out here under the streetlight, baby, I'm
F Dm
Still looking for something in the night
F
I might be giving up something
Bb C
You don't get something for nothing, baby
F Dm
Nothing you can hold up to the light
Bb C F
If all I find is freedom, it's alright
[Chorus]
Bb
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
Bb C
To keep my options open, even so I'm hoping
[Verse 2]
F
And I'm still looking for something
Bb C
I'm way out over my due date baby, I'm
F Dm
Still looking for something in the night
F
I know I'm headed for somewhere
Bb C
We all dream about somewhere, baby
F Dm
We all want to go where life is bright
Bb C F
You don't want to end up nowhere, but you might
[Instrumental Break]
Bb Dm
Bb C F
Bb Dm
Bb C
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
F
And I'm still looking for something
Bb C
I'm out here under the neon, baby
F Dm
Still looking for something in the night
F
I don't mind giving up something
Bb C
You don't get something for nothing, baby
F Dm
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
