F   G  Am

[Verse 1]
Am                     G                     Em
People keep sayin that I'm a little short on mercy
F             G               Am
Say my god-forsaken soul will buy me things
Am               G                Em
Fame and fortune pearly gates and silver wings
F                          G               Am
Yeah I picked out curtains for my place on golden street

[Verse 2]
Am                     G                       Em
People been calling me sinner, been calling me wayward saint
F              G                  Am
Caught a snag along the path that they call straight
Am                G              Em
Looked down and I saw that i had lost my faith
F                 G            Am
Turned my back on promises I'd never break

[Chorus] 
C     G     F                  Dm                 Am
These days, I'm just trying to find out what love means
        C                 G
Find my place within this crazy scene
C     G     F                  Dm                 Am
These days, I'm just trying to find out what love means
        G                 E
Find my place within this dream

[Verse 3]
Am                     G                Em
People keep saying I'm goin' to hell if I don’t change
F                     G              Am
But I sold my soul to God when i was barely eight
Am             G                Em
All of Jacob's ladders couldn't rescue me
F             G                    Am
All because I bought that house on golden street

[Verse 4]
Am               G                    Em
Built a bridge between our hearts but it was weak
F            G                Am
Little did I know it wouldn't hold my weight
Am               G           Em
Now I’m falllin' fast into a great ravine
F             G               Am
Wonder when I land if I'll be on my feet

[Chorus] 
C     G     F                  Dm                 Am
These days, I'm just trying to find out what love means
        C                 G
Find my place within this crazy scene
C     G     F                  Dm                 Am
These days, I'm just trying to find out what love means
        G                 E
Find my place within this dream

[Bridge]
F                 E
Can you spare me, father?
F                G
A moment of your time
F                  E
Why'd you hide the answers
F              E
In between the lines?
F             G
Life has many colors
F                   E
More than black and white
F             E
Why do I have questions
F                G
If you're always right?

[Chorus] 
C     G     F                  Dm                 Am
These days, I'm just trying to find out what love means
        C                 G
Find my place within this crazy scene
C     G     F                  Dm                 Am
These days, I'm just trying to find out what love means
        G                 E
Find my place within this dream
