D  G


[Verse 1]
D
Tell me, how can it be fair that
                             G
Some people find what others don't?
D
Spent a lifetime searching for it
                                 G
For some, it's right under their nose


[Pre-Chorus]
         D
And they say
            G
That you'll never find it if you're looking for it
         D
And that maybe
         A      G
I'm just better off if I'm alone


[Chorus]
        D                  Em
If it's once in a lifetime
                              G
Was that the last time I feel something?
  A
I hope it's not
          D                    Bm
If everyone's finding the real thing
Em
Then where the hell is mine?
    G               A
I'm trying to be an optimist
         D
But it's hard sometimes


[Verse 2]
D
Still believe you're Heaven-sent, but
                            G
Don't know if there's a God at all
D
I should probably get a grip
                           G
Maybe your God ain't comfortable
    D
Ignoring all my messages
                         G
Keep declining all my phone calls
D
Babe, if you just needed space, well
                     G
I'd give you all the stars above


[Pre-Chorus]
         D
And they say
            G
That you'll never find it if you're looking for it


[Chorus]
        D                  Em
If it's once in a lifetime
                              G
Was that the last time I feel something?
  A
I hope it's not
          D
If everyone's finding the real thing
Em
Then where the hell is mine?
    G               A
I'm trying to be an optimist


[Bridge]
D
Will it find, will it find, will it find me?
                                              G       D
Will it find, will it find, will it find me? (Will it find)
                      A                  G
Will it find, will it find, will it find me? (Oh)
D
Will it find, will it find, will it find me? (Will it find me?)


[Outro]
        G           A
I'm trying to be an optimist
