Lyrics

(A)Look ing for some thing I’ve nev er seen, a lone and I’m in be tween.

The place that I’m from and the place that I’m in, a (E)cit y I’ve nev er been.

I found a friend or should I say a foe.

Said (E)there’s a few things you should know.

We don’t want you to see we come and we go.

Here to day gone to mor row.

We’re on ly tak ing turns

(C#m7)hold ing

(Esus)this (E)world.

It’s how it’s al ways been.

When you’re old er, you will un der (A)stand.

If I say who I know, it just goes to show you need me less than I need you.

But, take it from me, we don’t give sym pa thy.

You can trust me, trust no bod (A)y.

But, I said you and me we don’t have hon es ty, the things we don’t want to speak.

And I’ll try to get out but I nev er will.

(Emaj7)Traf fic is per fect ly (A)still.

(Amaj7)stand.

And then a gain may be you don’t.

And then a gain may be you won’t.

(Oo,

we’re on ly tak ing turns.)

We’re on ly tak ing turns

(C#m7)hold ing

(Esus)this (E)world.

It’s how it’s al ways been.

When you’re old er, you will un der (A)stand.

When you’re old er, you might un der (Amaj7)stand.

When you’re old er, you might un der (Amaj7)stand.

(A)stand.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Trust Me" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in E, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Trust Me" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
