F Bb C

[Verse 1]
    F
I'm still looking for something,
    Bb                 C
I'm out here under the streetlight, baby, I'm
F                                   Dm
 Still looking for something in the night
  F
I might be giving up something
    Bb                      C
You don't get something for nothing, baby
F                              Dm
Nothing you can hold up to the light
   Bb            C               F
If all I find is freedom, it's alright

[Chorus]
      Bb
And I knew since I was just little
    Dm
The sharp edges of the world will whittle
     Bb             C                F
Your dreams down to shavings at your feet
      Bb
Gonna do my best not to settle
  Dm
I know it's gonna test my mettle
Bb                                   C
To keep my options open, even so I'm hoping

[Verse 2]
        F
And I'm still looking for something
    Bb              C
I'm way out over my due date baby, I'm
F                                   Dm
 Still looking for something in the night
  F
I know I'm headed for somewhere
   Bb              C
We all dream about somewhere, baby
F                               Dm
We all want to go where life is bright
    Bb                   C                F
You don't want to end up nowhere, but you might

[Chorus]
      Bb
And I knew since I was just little
    Dm
The sharp edges of the world will whittle
     Bb           C              F
Your expectations into something else
      Bb
And I know beyond the tough titty
Dm
Somewhere there's a heart in the city
  Bb                                               C
And I'm out here to find it, and the soulful smile behind it

[Verse 3]
        F
And I'm still looking for something
    Bb                 C
I'm out here under the neon, baby
F                                   Dm
 Still looking for something in the night
  F
I don't mind giving up something
    Bb                      C
You don't get something for nothing, baby
    F                               Dm
You don't give up on love without a fight
   Bb              C                 F
If I don't find it this time, it's alright
      F                     Dm
Gonna keep my options open, even though I'm hoping
    Bb              C              F
For something I can hold up to the light
F                                    Dm
Don't know that I'll find it, or the soulful smile behind it
   Bb            C               F
If all I find is freedom, it's alright
