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.
