Tuning: E A D G B ECapo: No capo


C           Bb
Different light
C                       Bb
Searching for the truth I find
                        F
That I am running quite short of time
C                  Gm                F    Bb
And I am no longer certain of my destiny


C          Gm
Different light
C                   Gm
Things that I once thought were right
Bb                     F
Are now reflected in a different light



C                           Gm            F   Eb
And it seemed that I overlooked a part of me
F                          C    Am (arpegiate these 2 chords)
I had overlooked a part of me
        F                C   Am
I was escaping my reality


C         Bb
Different light
C                       Bb
Searching for the truth I find
                           F
Is that what I thought was peace of mind?
        C        Gm           F       Eb
It was only me escaping my reality


 F                            C    Am
I had overlooked a part of me
F                       C   Am
I was escaping my reality
F                           C    Am
I had questioned my philosophy
F                               C
So that I can see the truth in me
 

C                 Eb
Searching for the truth
Bb                         Eb
I found out what I thought would be
Eb
Peace of mind
Eb             C
Things that should've stayed the same
Eb
Are prone to change
F            Gm         F    Eb
Now I've seen a little light


F                           C    Am
I had overlooked a part of me
F                       C   Am
I was escaping my reality
F                            C    Am
I had questioned my philosophy
F                               C
So that I can see the truth in me


F                           C    Am
I had overlooked a part of me
F                       C   Am
I was escaping my reality
F                            C    Am
I had questioned my philosophy
F                               C
So that I can see the truth in me
