Start Jamming...
Time was written, this rocket got to roll
[G] So I hit the road and made [D] my getaway
[Bm] Restless feeling, really got a hold
I started searching [F#] for a [E] better way
[D] Yes, I was [A] looking for a sign in the [E] middle of the night
But I couldn't see the light, [G] no, [D] couldn't see the [A] light
[D] Kept on [A] looking for a way to [Em] take me through the night
[C] Couldn't get it right, [Am] couldn't get it [E] right
[Bm]
And if people made me feel alright
[G] But I must admit they [Bm] got the best of me
Then I'm down, so deep I could've drowned
[A] [G] And I can't get back the [E] way I used to be
[D] I [A] started searching for a better way
Yes, I was looking for a sign [E] in the middle of the night
But I couldn't see the light, [D] no, couldn't see the [A] light
[D] Kept [A] on looking for a way to [E] take me through the night
