🎸 Verse 1:
D
Maybe all the world is insecure
   G
Maybe all of us are looking for a cure
   Bm                   G
Maybe something that can finally reassure, maybe
   D
We're chasing after money like a dog
    G
But the money's never gonna be enough
    Bm                  G
No, it's never gonna take the place of love, maybe
D

I'm still looking for the truth
   G
But I can't seem to find it in the news
   Bm                  G
Maybe I'll start singing like the blues, maybe
  D
The days start feeling like the nights
     G
Like it's just anothеr way to lose a fight
       Bm                    G
Like I'm the only onе who's looking for the light, maybe


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Dsus2      Asus
If only I could open up my eyes
Bm                  G
Would the truth be what would set me free?
Dsus2      Asus
If only I could open up my eyes
Bm              G
Would I see that maybe I need you

Like you need me?


🎸 Chorus:
D         G
And the new year dawns
Bm         F    G   C
And the old year's drifting on and on
          F   A     D  G Bm G
Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun


🎸 Verse 2:
D
Everyday begins to feel the same
     G
Like I'm waiting on the wind to go and change
      Bm               G
But there's no one but myself to blame lately
  D
I'm staring and despairing on the screen
    G
Turning everything that's real into a meme
    Bm                    G
But the feeds that I read don't feed me what I need


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
  Dsus2      Asus
Oh, if only I could open up my eyes
Bm                  G
Would the truth be what would set me free?
Dsus2      Asus
If only I could open up my eyes
Bm              G
Would I see that maybe I need you
         D
Like you need me?


🎸 Chorus:
D         G
And the new year dawns
Bm         F    G   C
And the old year's drifting on and on
          F   A     D
Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun
D         G
And I still take a run?:
Bm                F    G   C
To be somewhere that still needs broken, longing songs
          F   G#    C  F
Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun
 G#    C  F
Around the sun
 G#    C  F
Around the sun
 G#    D  G
Around the sun
Bm  G
Ooh, ooh


🎸 Verse 3:
  D
The questions that we're too afraid to ask
      G
'Cause the present is the future of the past
      Bm                  G
'Cause the river is the same, but moving fast lately
  D
And maybe every other is a weed
   G
Maybe differences are easier to see
    Bm                 G
Than a family we are that's underneath, maybe


🎸 Chorus:
        D
Like you need me
         G
And the new year dawns
Bm         F    G   C
And the old year's drifting on and on
          F   A     D
Like my doubt's in orbit 'round the sun
            G
And I'm looking in your eyes
D            F   G           D         Bm       A
I see reflections of the sea reflecting the sky (I see myself looking at you, looking at me looking up)
  G     D         Bm       A
The sky (I see myself looking at you looking at me)
      G       D   Bm  A
I start to recognize that I need you
      G       D   Bm  A
I start to recognize that I need you
        D G Bm
Like you need me
      G
Like I need you
        D
Like you need me
