[VERSE 1]
G C
I'm a new soul, I came to this strange world
Em D5 G
Hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take

But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
Em D5 G
Finding myself making every possible mistake

[VERSE 2]
G C
I'm a young soul in this very strange world
Em D5 G
Hoping I could learn a bit about what is true and fake

Finding trust and love is not always easy to make

Notes:
I've seen quite a few versions of this floating around out there, but none of them
quite right. Feel free to comment on any mistakes you see, but this sounds really close.
G7 chord during the bridge may be off by a trivial note or two, but everything else
good. The whole song sounds best plucked, not strummed. I could have gone into more
with the arpeggiated chords that start at the bridge, but I think this suffices. Great
song, enjoy! dniete97@hotmail.com
