D G
[Verse 1]
D
Tell me, how can it be fair that
G
Some people find what others don't?
D
Spent a lifetime searching for it
G
For some, it's right under their nose
[Pre-Chorus]
D
And they say
G
That you'll never find it if you're looking for it
D
And that maybe
A G
I'm just better off if I'm alone
[Chorus]
D Em
If it's once in a lifetime
G
Was that the last time I feel something?
A
I hope it's not
D Bm
If everyone's finding the real thing
Em
Then where the hell is mine?
G A
I'm trying to be an optimist
D
But it's hard sometimes
[Verse 2]
D
Still believe you're Heaven-sent, but
G
Don't know if there's a God at all
D
I should probably get a grip
G
Maybe your God ain't comfortable
D
Ignoring all my messages
G
Keep declining all my phone calls
D
Babe, if you just needed space, well
G
I'd give you all the stars above
[Pre-Chorus]
D
And they say
G
That you'll never find it if you're looking for it
[Chorus]
D Em
If it's once in a lifetime
G
Was that the last time I feel something?
A
I hope it's not
D
If everyone's finding the real thing
Em
Then where the hell is mine?
G A
I'm trying to be an optimist
[Bridge]
D
Will it find, will it find, will it find me?
G D
Will it find, will it find, will it find me? (Will it find)
A G
Will it find, will it find, will it find me? (Oh)
D
Will it find, will it find, will it find me? (Will it find me?)
[Outro]
G A
I'm trying to be an optimist
