I'm Tryin' To Find It(Chords)

	        Tabbed by C. Van Etten  10/06/06 

That's right a true two chord song !! 

Note: The actual chords are F and Bb 
I tabbed it with the capo for ease 
For accuracy Play the F barre chord with your 
thumb on the bass string and relase to the open G String to get Fsus2 
Otherwise play with a capo and you'll be fine. 


 


Intro  

E   A   2X 


          E 
There's a road that goes to an old friends house where we  

grew up, where we hung out. 
          A                                                     E          A 
I've been on this highway for three hours now. And I'm tryin to find it.  
    E                       
I remember an old pin ball arcade, where I lived out all my yesterdays 
    A                                                   E         A 
I'm sure it's torn down and gone away, but I'm tryin to find it. 
              E          
And there's a feeling that I left behind. I felt it once running down my spine. 
    A                                          E         A 
The fear of God, the joy of life. I'm tryin to find it.  
              E                   
And there's a spot on Earth a man can go to find himself and free his soul 
  A                                                                      
A place somewhere between hell and heaven where no one hurts and all's forgiven 
  E                                 
A door that leads to light and grace but the keys are in the darkest place 
         A                                                                    E 
Though I feel like I've been there before, but I don't know what I'm looking for 
                 A       E                A       
but I'm tryin to find it.    I'm tryin to find it.  
           E 
There's an attic in my old man's house full of history I need to know about. 
     A                                                  E 
Of a life I've lived too long without. And I'm tryin to find it,  
             A                              
I'm tryin to find it. I'm tryin to find it. 
      E 
And I know you're up there in your room and I want so bad to heal the wound 
         A 
but I've hurt you in so many ways and I don't know why you choose to stay 
      E               
and I know it's me that let it die cause there's a fire that's gone when I look in your eyes 
   A                                                          E 
an innocence that you once had, a piece of you I miss so bad.  
                 A                     E        A               
But I'm tryin to find it. I'm tryin to find it.    I'm tryin to find it 

E  A   

     E 
It's three a.m. And I'm on my knees. Tears in her eyes she looks down on me.  
     A                                                        E                    A 
As I search to find the book she loves to hear her daddy read.    And I'm tryin to find it.  
          E 
There's a road that goes to an old friends house. Where we grew up, we hung out. 
     A 
I've been on this highway for three hours now.
