[Verse 1]
C F
I walk past a bunch of temples, built by foreign lands
G Dm Em
Around the side of Maya Devi to a pillar made of sand
C F
Can’t really read the words, but I can still hear that what they say
G Dm G
A wise man was born here long ago and he was trying to find a way
 
[Chorus]
Dm Dm Am Em
Tryin to find a way to make sense from reality
Dm Dm Am G
Tryin to find a way that all people could be free
Dm Dm Am Em
Tryin to find a way to accept what’s really true
Dm Dm Am G
Tryin to find a way to know the right thing to do
 
[Verse 2]
C F
Past a pond I wander over and find an old fig tree call Bo
G Dm Em
I sit beneath the flags and branches and watch the world start to slow
C F
A squirrel pauses at my feet and then quickly runs away
G Dm G
I feel each breath, in and out, and I try to find a way
 
[Chorus]
Dm Dm Am Em
Tryin to find a way to still these restless thoughts
Dm Dm Am G
Tryin to find a way to unravel these karmic knots
Dm Dm Am Em
Tryin to find a way to accept what’s really true
Dm Dm Am G
Tryin to find a way to know the right thing to do
 
[Verse 3]
C F
As we’re driving away I see what used to be a small town
G Dm Em
But nobody lives there anymore since the quake took all the houses down
C F
I wonder who they were, and what they’re doing today
G Dm G
Wherever they are, I’m sure that they’re just trying to find a way
 
[Chorus]
Dm Dm Am Em
Tryin to find a way to have somewhere safe to stay
Dm Dm Am G
Tryin to find a way to make it through the day
Dm Dm Am Em
Tryin to find a way to accept what’s really true
Dm Dm Am G
Tryin to find a way to know the right thing to do
Dm Dm Am Em
Tryin to find a way
Dm Dm Am G
Tryin to find a way
