*For the verse pattern, make sure to emphasize the bass notes (A, G#, F#) at the
beginning of each chord.
*The Asus2 and Asus2/G# will each be for two beats, but if you listen carefully,
the Dsus2/F# is for three (leaving only one for the E).
*Chord making help: I use my 4th finger (pinky) for the G# in Asus2/G# and my
thumb for the F# in Dsus2/F#.

Don t know what time it is, I ve been up for way too long
and I m too tired to sleep
/ /
I call my mother on the phone, she wasn t home,
and now I m wandering the street
I ve been a fool, I ve been cruel to myself
I ve been hanging onto nothing when
nothing could be worse than hanging on
/ /
And something tells me there must be
something better than all this
/ /
I ve fallen many times in love and every time
it s been with the wrong man
/ /
Still I m out there living one day at a time
and doing the best I can
Cause we ve all made mistakes
that seem to lead us astray
But every time they helped to get us where we are today
/
And that s a good a place as any
/
and it s probably where we re best off anyway
It s a long and rugged road
/
and we don t now where it s headed
/
But we know it s going to get us where we re going
And when we find what we re looking for
/
we ll drop these bags and search no more
/
Cause it s going to feel like heaven when we re home
/ / /
It s going to feel like heaven when we re home
[Same verse and chorous chords for rest of song]
There s no such thing as perfect,
and if there is we ll fnd it when we re good and dead
Trust me I ve been looking
bu tonight I think I ll go and take a bath instead
And then maybe I ll walk a while
and feel the earth beneath me
They say if you stop looking
it doesn t matter if you find it
And whose to say that even if I did
it s what I m really looking for
It s a long and rugged road
and we don t now where it s headed
But we know it s going to get us where we re going
And when we find what we re looking for
we ll drop these bags and search no more
Cuz it s going to feel like heaven when we re home
It s going to feel like heaven when we re home
