Tift Merritt Guitar Chords & Lyrics: "I Know What I'm Looking For Now"


I KNOW WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR NOW (Tift Merritt)
----------------------------------------------
* Each chord is half of a measure, except chords joined with hyphens
  (e.g., G - C/G) are a half measure TOTAL.
* In the key of G; no capo.

Am   Am   D   D     G   C/G   G   G
[intro]

        G         G - C/G    G            G - C/G  
Well, I got here early       trying to decide
            Bm           Bm     Bm             Bm
If there was nothing to hope for or nothing inside
      C         C       G           G   C   C               D    D
But a mixed up girl with plenty to hide   from the light of day

But a friend made me laugh, bought me a drink
I walked in this garden, started to think
What little I know is quick as a wink, but I've known a real long time

G               G            G   G   G7              G7           C   C
I know what I'm looking for now,     I know what I'm looking for now
G       C                  Bm   C                 Am   Am
  This world will mix you up,  oh and bring you down
D [stop]        C [stop]     G   C/G   G   C/G
I know what I'm looking for now

Everyone's looking, they're not sure at what
Holding onto illusions like it's all that they got
Putting a mystery where a mystery is not; can you tell me why

When you can light up a stranger just passing by
Start revolutions with a glint in your eye
And sing hallelujah with a breath or a sigh, and still know the way home

I know what I'm looking for now, I know what I'm looking for now
This world will mix you up, oh and bring you down
I know what I'm looking for now

D    D            C          G 
    All of these miles I've come
D    D            C          G
    All of these dreams I've chased in my
B7     B7  B7           B7       C  C          D   D
mind, all for something small and   simple to find

[guitar solo: same chords as one verse]

Well you did what you could, you meant what you said
You look like an angel, so hold up your head
A little lost here ain't so bad, that ain't the reason to cry

G               G            G   G   G7              G7           C   C
I know what I'm looking for now,     I know what I'm looking for now
G       C                  Bm   C
  This world will mix you up,  oh and bring you down
G       C                  Bm   C
  This world will mix you up,  oh and bring you down
G       C                  Bm   C                 Am   Am
  This world will mix you up,  oh and bring you down
D [stop]        C [stop]     G.
I know what I'm looking for now
