Intro:  / G - - - / C - - - / Em - D - / G - - - /

 

         G                                     C

I'm a new soul, I came to this strange world

                       Em (½)              D (½)                G

Hoping I could learn a bit ‘bout how to give and take

                 G                                      C

But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear

                         Em (½)         D (½)          G

Finding myself making every possible mistake

La, la, la, la, la-la-la-la la, la, la-la-la-la-

          G                                C

I'm a young soul in this very strange world

                       Em (½)                D (½)                G

Hoping I could learn a bit ‘bout what is true and fake

                    G                                 C

But why all these hate? Try to communicate

                           Em (½)           D (½)           G

Finding trust and love is not always easy to make

Everything you have done

C                              Cm

Why's everything so wrong

G7/D                      G

This is a happy end  Come and give me your hand

C                        Cm

I'll take you far away

 

      G                                       C

I'm a new soul, I came to this strange world

                        G/B                                         D

Hoping I could learn a bit ‘bout how to give and take

                 G                                      C

Finding myself making every possible mistake
