Intro:  B   A   E  Count 1,2,3,4

Verse 1

B                           A
Wait a minute now, I thought I'd figured this one out
             E                                     B
It's like I paid the ticket twice but I never sat down
B                              A
Waiting for a reason in this shadow of my doubt
E                               B
And everybody's pushing me around

Verse 2

B                            A
I read the signs like I was getting somewhere
E                                 B
Caught between my prayers and my tendency to swear
B                                   A
That you'd be the one like it was written in the sky
E                                 B
    By the finger of the needs of I

Chorus:

B                            A
Well, I don't mean to be so cynical,
E                                    B
But sometimes I think I've got the plan
B                              A
Throw it all together just to see it fall apart
E                         B
I'm taking matters in my own hands


Verse 3

B                           A
Wait a minute now, Its all gone to Hell
          E                                  B
I try to get some water just to quench the flames
B                                A
I fill the bucket but tumble on down the well
E                               B
Love is soaked and curiously strange  (chorus)

Verse 4

E                     B
When the signs are pleasing
    C#m            B                A
The coincidence of consequence can seem like reason
E                      B
But when direction unravels
      C#m              B           A                        B   A   E   B
Can I turn around and justify the distance I've traveled away

Refrain:

B                       A                       E
Searching for a reason, Searching for a reason, Searching for a reason
        B
In this shadow of my doubt (2X) (chorus (2X))

A                         E        B A
I'm taking matters in my own hands (2X)
2nd time through strum the A once and stop music and end with this line.
