Verses
Em G Bm 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
Em G Bm
And I wanna feel like that
things you'll never understand
Don’t you wanna feel like that?
Em G Bm 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
Em G Bm
Part of a system, I am
Part of a system, a plan
Part of a system, I am

Cmaj7 C#m(add9)
All this noise I'm waking up
All this space I'm taking up

Chorus:
Em Cmaj7
Maybe you'll get what you wanted
G Bm
Maybe you'll stumble upon it
Em Cmaj7
Everything you ever wanted
G Bm
In a permanent state
Em Cmaj7
Maybe you'll know when you see it
G Bm
Maybe if you say it you'll mean it

And when you find it you'll keep it
G Bm Em
In a permanent state, a permanent state
Outro: (organ only)
Em
Swim out on a sea of faces
C G
The tide of the human races, oh
Bm
An answer now is what I need
Em
See it in the new sun rising and
C G
See it break on your horizon, oh
Bm
Come on love, stay with me
Em (fade out)
