Looking Out
By Brandi Carlile
no capo
I heard this song a million times and liked it enough. But when I saw her perform
it live and solo, I absolutely fell in love with it. Enjoy!
G Em C
I went out looking for the answers, and never left my town
G D
I'm no good at understanding, but I'm good at standing ground
G Em C
And when I asked a corner preacher, I couldn't hear him for my youth
G D
Some people get religion, some people get the truth
C G
I never get the truth, I never get the truth
Chorus
Bm C G
I know the darkness pulls on you, but it's just a point of view
D Am
When you're outside looking in, you belong to someone
C A
And when you feel like giving in, or the coming of the end
C G
Like your heart could break in two, someone loves you
G Em C
I laid a suitcase on my chest, so I could feel somebody's weight
G D
And I laid you to rest, just to feel the give and take
G Em C
I got a new interpretation, and it's a better point of view
G D
While you were looking for a landslide, I was looking out for you
C G
I was looking out for you, someone's looking out for you
Chorus
G Em C
I am afraid of crossing lines, I am afraid of flying blind
G D
Afraid of inquiring minds, afraid of being left behind
G Em C
I close my eyes, I think of you; I take a step, I think of you
G D
I catch my breath, I think of you; I cannot rest, I think of you
Em C G
My one and only wrecking ball, and you're crashing through my walls
D Am
When you're outside looking in, you belong to someone
C A
And when you feel like giving in, or the coming of the end
C G
Like your heart could break in two, someone loves you
