Riff 1, 2, 1, 1

Verse:
F2(no3)                   C2(no3)   
   Another question in me. One for the powers that be
F2(no3)                        A5        
   It's got me thrown and so I put on my poker face
F2(no3)                     C2(no3)    
   And try to figure it out. This undeniable doubt
F2(no3)                  A5
   A common occurrance.  Feeling so out of place
F2(no3)                    C2(no3)    
   Guarded and cynical now, can't help but wondering how
F2(no3)                    A5                     D5
   My heart evolved into a rock beating inside of me
     F5                        C2(no3)                   A5
So I reel such a stoic ordeal where's that feeling that I don't feel?

Chorus:
F5                          C#5
There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain
G#5                          C5
And like a child he would believe without a reason
F5                      C#5
Without a trace, he disappeared into the void and
G#5                  C5                      C#5   C#2(no3)
I've been searchin' for that missing person

Verse 2:   [Played Like Verse 1]

Under a lavender moon, so many thoughts consume me.

Who dimmed that glowing light that once burned so bright in me?

Is this a radical phase a problematical age

That keeps me running from all that I used to be?

Is there a way to return, is there a way to unlearn,

That carnal knowledge that's chipping away at my soul?

I've been gone too long will I ever find my way home?

Chorus 2:   [Played Like Chorus 1]

There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain

And like a child he would believe without a reason

Without a trace, he disappeared into the void and

I've been searchin' for that missing person

He used to want to try to walk the strait and narrow

He had a fire and he could feel it in the marrow

It's been a long time and I haven't seen him lately but

I've been searchin' for that missing person
C#5   G#5                     C#5   G#5
         For that missing person         For that missing person
G5     D#5     A#5     D5     G5     D#5     A#5     D5
                Ohh                              Ohh

Chorus 3: 
G5                          D#5
There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain
A#5                          D5
And like a child he would believe without a reason
G5                      D#5
Without a trace, he disappeared into the void and
A#5                 D5
I've been searchin' 
G5                        D#5
He used to want to try to walk the strait and narrow
A#5                         D5
He had a fire and he could feel it in the marrow
G5                          D#5
It's been a long time and I haven't seen him lately but
A#5                  D5
I've been searchin' for that missing person
