Chorus:
A         E
Do you know where to go
D                       A
When you're walking around at midnight?
                 E
You can look high and low
         D              A
But you won't find yourself without a flashlight

A              E     D
There are plenty of ways
       A                 E D A
to explain your situation
             E             D
When you're searching for love,
                          A E D A
you have no time to be patient

Chorus:
I looked all over town, all around
I didn't see you anywhere
You were safe and sound, underground
Where I couldn't see you at all
I found myself, right at home on the shelf
While you were busy looking for yourself there

C          A
That was then and this is now
     C                A
And now the time has come

             A           F
There was a time when a boy
            C               G        A    F C G
would cry alone in his room, in the corner

And it's a crime that his
toys would turn to stone like their original owners

A                 F            C G
But that was then and this is now
A            F               C G
We all just figure it out somehow
         A
Yes, we do
Ain't it true?

Find yourself over the hill
Break your crown, Jack and Jill
In the open or underground
Are you making plans or just making sounds?
Looking up and over the moon
You can find yourself, but don't find it too soon
Yeah, but don't find it too soon
Take your time, but don't find it too soon

Chorus:
I looked all over town, all around
I couldn't find you anywhere
You were safe underground, not a sound
Disappearing into thin air
