Verses
Am C Em C#m(add9)
1. When I was a young boy I tried to listen
2. If you ever feel like something's missing
3. When I was a young boy, I tried to listen
Am C Em
And I wanna feel like that
things you'll never understand
Don’t you wanna feel like that?
Am C Em C#m(add9)
Little white shadows, blink and miss them
Little white shadows, sparkle and glisten
You’re part of the human race, all of the stars in the outer space
Am C Em
Part of a system, I am
Part of a system, a plan
Part of a system, I am

Fmaj7 C#m(add9)
All this noise I'm waking up
All this space I'm taking up
All this sound is breaking up
Chorus:
Am Fmaj7
Maybe you'll get what you wanted
C Em
Maybe you'll stumble upon it
Am Fmaj7
Everything you ever wanted
C Em
In a permanent state
Am Fmaj7
Maybe you'll know when you see it
C Em
Maybe if you say it you'll mean it
Am Fmaj7
And when you find it you'll keep it
C Em Am
In a permanent state, a permanent state
Outro: (organ only)
Am
Swim out on a sea of faces
F C
The tide of the human races, oh
Em
An answer now is what I need
Am
See it in the new sun rising and
F C
See it break on your horizon, oh
Em
Come on love, stay with me
Am (fade out)
