Intro: C5 G5 F5 E5 C5 G5 F5 Well it's a new year, with it comes more than new fears. E5 Met a young man who was in tears, he asked me, F5 G5 "What induces us to stay here?" C5 G5 I said, "I don't know much and I'm not lying, C5 G5 But I think you just have to keep on trying." F5 E5 C5 And I know I am naive, but if anything A5 F5 That's what's going to save me G5 C5 That's what's going to save me C5 G5 C5 G5 Took a stroll around the neighborhood where the trees are swaying. C5 G5 C5 G5 People passed in cars with their windows down, with a pop song playing. F5 E5 F5 A man walked by, walking back and forth the street with a drunken smile to go G5 along. F5 E5 F5 G5 He stopped to look at me and say, "Child, don't fear doing things wrong." F5 G5 C5 Yet I am still afraid but if anything A5 F5 That's what's going to save me G5 C5 That's what's going to save me A5 D5 Now I have a lot to learn and I'm starting tonight, F5 E5 Got to stop looking at things like they're black and they're white. A5 D5 Got to write more songs of a little more, treat my friends better. F5 E5 Got to stop worrying about everything to the letter. F5 E5 And sometimes when it's too hard to get up, F5 E5 It just might be a little call apart. F5 E5 C5 But I find it hard to believe, but if anything A5 F5 That's what's going to save me G5 C5 That's what's going to save me F5 Tell me, tell me G5 C5 G5 F5 C5 Oh, what's going to save me?
