To find my way

But I wanna know how 
   Am      
I know I'm meant  
              F 
For something else 
     Am                 F

But I don't know how 
    F  
Oh, why do

I reach for the stars 
                  F 
When I don't have wings  
                 G 
To carry me that far?

Am        F 
Sometimes I don't wanna feel

Put my head In the clouds 
    Am                      F 
Oh, start to run And then I fall 
Am                    F 
Seein' I can't get it all 
           Am          F 
Without my feet On the ground 
                 F 
There's always a seed 
                  Am 
 Before there's a rose 
                  F 
 The more that it rains 
                G 
The more I will grow

And do it best
