[Verse]
     G             Em7
I am searching for something
     Cadd9    D
that I cannot see,
G                   Em7
Don’t know where it is,
Cadd9                D
don’t know how it’ll feel.
G                   Em7
Don’t know where to look,
Cadd9                  D
don’t know if I should flee,
     G        Em7         Cadd9         D
This quest is unending, do I want to be free?

[Pre-chorus]
G             Em7
It is cold and I am alone,
Cadd9          D
warming up and sipping tea,
     G        Em7
This quest is unending,
        Cadd9                   D
but I’m doing it to be a better me,
   G              Em7
My brother always told me
      Cadd9      D
to be honest and loyal,
  G              Em7          Cadd9
I didn’t keep my promise, and now I hear
                      D
him quietly saying “I told ya.”

G  Em7  Cadd9  D

[Chorus]
G               Em7
What do I do to regain their trust,
Cadd9                 D
that’s what I want to know,
  G                  Em7
I now understand what I did wrong,
        Cadd9                 D
now the years have passed and I have

grown.
  G                      Em7
I left them alone in the worst of times,
Cadd9                  D
without knowing that I did,
     G              Em7
I am trying hard to fix it,
                Cadd9          D
but it’s like a puzzle where a piece doesn’t fit.

[Verse]
G                        Em7
Maybe I have to pay em a visit,
Cadd9             D
maybe that is the way,
   G             Em7
To regain an old friendship,
Cadd9                D
that was still going on last May.
G        Em7
There is still hope, and I’m still marching forward,
Cadd9                    D
thinking about how it’ll be,
   G          Em7
To see my old friends again,
       Cadd9                 D
and to tell them that I am a better me.

G  Em7  Cadd9  D

[Pre-chorus]
G                    Em7
Smile on my face and getting closer
Cadd9              D
to where I want to be,
  G            Em7                Cadd9
Excited to say hello and feel the warmth
                      D
of their friendship inside of me.
G                          Em7
Have they forgotten me, or am I still known,
G             Em7
Do they appreciate the fact that
     Cadd9       D
I’ve come so far alone?

[Chorus]
G               Em7
What do I do to regain their trust,
Cadd9                 D
that’s what I want to know,
  G                  Em7
I now understand what I did wrong,
        Cadd9                 D
now the years have passed and I have

grown.
G                            Em7
I’ve been feeling lonely for way too long,
  Cadd9           D
I need someone to keep me close.
G                     Em7
This is the moment of ultimate relief,
Cadd9           D
knowing that my friends are pleased.

G  Em7  Cadd9  D

[Chorus]
G               Em7
What do I do to regain their trust,
Cadd9                 D
that’s what I want to know,
  G                   Em7
I now understand what I did wrong,
        Cadd9                 D
now the years have passed and I have grown.
  G                 Em7                  Cadd9
I couldn’t wish for anything more, to be safe
                 D
in this house up in the north,
G                   Em7           Cadd9
Playing board games all day long, not a thing
       D
that’s going wrong.
G                         Em7
Feeling that feeling I’ve had for so long,
    G                    D
Has come back to me in a form that’s
        G
just as strong.

G  Em7  Cadd9  D 2x
