 [G]                        [F]           [C]
What you're looking for is never what you find  *1
 [G]          [F]              [C]
Nothing ever seems to turn out right  *1

[Am]                       [G]
Still running around still searching
          [F]              [C]
all these long indifferent streets
         [Am]          [G]
For your lover or some cover
    [F]                 [C]
to protect you from the heat
                [G]
That you feel inside  *2
 [F]                [G]       [C]
inflamed since you learned to cry



[G]                       [F]          [C]
Ever since you learned to walk you ran away  *1
[G]                   [F]                [C]
kept running till you couldn't feel your legs  *1

        [Am]                [G]
Now you stumble round this drunken town
     [F]             [C]
pawn shops and titty bars
        [Am]              [G]
telling tales of just how far you got
       [F]                   [C]
But they'll all know who you are
                    [G]
Yeah you're not so great  *2
            [F]   [G]        [C]
You're just early out of the gate



           [G]             [F]              [C]
there's a portrait of your mom when she was young   *1
     [G]             [F]             [C]
Her face was shining brightly as the sun   *1

    [Am]         [G]
The son who got away from her
    [F]            [C]
but came back home again
   [Am]         [G]
to find a women wrapped
               [F]              [C]
with all this love she couldn't give
                 [G]
But you know she did  *2
         [F]      [G]     [C]
You just couldn't feel it then



        [G]                      [F]           [C]
Found a birthday card from this lady I used to know   *1
        [G]                [F]            [C]
It said boy you're really starting to get old   *1

          [Am]         [G]
She's the mother of my mother
  [F]                [C]
I knew just what she meant
      [Am]            [G]
She'd been through it before
              [F]            [C]
she'd known of all of this resentment
       [G]
becomes regret  *2
       [F]     [G]         [C]
I just hadn't gotten there yet  *1

[Am]         [G]              [F][C]
Nothing ever seems to turn out right
   [Am]         [G]              [F][C]
No never, never seems to turn out right
                 [G]
So I leave it at this  *2
   [F][G]    [C]
my deepest regret
