Find Yourself

Music and Lyrics © Robert Edgar 2001

Sing unsentimentally.

 

Dmaj7 B7

If you wanna go to China you’d better.

E A

If you wanna see Peru then well go.

Abmin7 E7 A A7

If you wanna see Kissimmee then stick out your thumb

F E

If you walk, man, it’s gonna be slow.

 

Dmaj7 B7

If ya wanna be in London buy a ticket

E A

Lots of tourists travel this time of year.

Abmin7 E7 A A7

If you want to find a place where you isn’t

F E

Toss the I Ching or just follow your fear.

 

D Gmaj7

But if you want to find yourself build a mirror

D Gmaj7

Help a leaf of silver rush to the glass.

D Gmaj7

Shape the frame so it feels good to hold it.

D Gmaj7

Use a dense wood to give it some mass.

 

D Gmaj7

Let a part of the frame stay unfinished

D Gmaj7

It will tell you of places its been.

D Gmaj7

The weight of the mirror lets you know you exist

D Gmaj7

So when you’re done you don’t have to look in.

 

(break)

 

Dmaj7 B7

If you wanna find a self you gotta make one.

E A

If you want to hear yourself well then sing.

Abmin7 E7 A A7

If you want to see yourself scratch a mark in the sand

F E

If you got an itch then dancing’s your thing.

 

Dmaj7 B7

If you wonder who you are then make a guess.

E A

You’ll be wrong, but what the hell try.

Abmin7 E7 A A7

Correct your mistake for your next pass

D Gmaj7

Spiral your self to the sky.

D Gmaj7

Spiral, self, sky.

D Gmaj7

Spiral, sky.

D Gmaj7

Spiral.

D
