Lyrics

Do you know where your heart is?

Do you think you can find it?

Or did you trade it for some thing some where?

(D)Bet ter just to have it.

Do you know where your love is?

Do you think that you lost it?

You felt it so strong, but your best ing’s

you’re (D)turned out how you want it.

Well, (A)bless my soul,

you’re a (Esus)lone ly soul

’cause you (F#m)won’t let go

of (D)an y thing you hold.

Well, (A)all I need

is the (Esus)air I breathe

and a (F#m)place to rest

my head.

Do you know what your fate is?

Are you try ing to shake it?

You’re do ing your best dance, your best look,

you’re (D)pray ing that you’ll make it.

Well, (A)bless my soul,

you’re a (Esus)lone ly soul

’cause you (F#m)won’t let go

of (D)an y thing you hold.

Well, (A)all I need

is the (Esus)air I breathe

and a (F#m)place to rest

my head.

Do you know what your fate

Say (A)all I need

is the (Esus)air I breathe

and a (F#m)place to rest

my head.

Do you think you can find it?

Do you think you can find it?

Do you think you can find it

(D)bet ter than you had it?

Do you think you can find it?

Do you think you can find it?

Do you think you can find it

(D)bet ter than you had it?

Do you think you can find (D)bet ter than you had it?

Say (A)all I need

is the (Esus)air I breathe

and a (F#m)place to rest

my head.

Say (A)all I need

is the (Esus)air I breathe

and a (F#m)place to rest

my head.

Say Do you know where the end is?

Do you think you can see it?

Well, un til you get there, go on,

(D)go a head and scream it;

just say...
