[VERSE 1]
      G                       	  C
I'm a new soul, I came to this strange world
               Em              D5                 G
Hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take
            G                           C
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
               Em          D5           G
Finding myself making every possible mistake


(  G            C      Em   D5   G    )
La, la, la, la...             ) x2


[VERSE 2]
      G                        C
I'm a young soul in this very strange world
               Em                D5              G
Hoping I could learn a bit about what is true and fake
            G                       C
But why all these hate? try to communicate
                  Em            D5          G
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make


(G     C     Em    D5    G    ) x4


[Bridge]

G7                    G
This is a happy end
C                         Cm
'Cause you don't understand
G7                         G
Everything you have done
C                      Cm
Why's everything so wrong
G7                    G
This is a happy end  Come and give me your hand
C                       Cm
I'll take you far away


[Modified Verse 1]
      G                       	  C*
I'm a new soul, I came to this strange world
               G*                       D
Hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take
            G                           C
But since I came here, felt the joy and the fear
               Em           D5           G
Finding myself making every possible mistake


[Main chord progression continues to end]


Notes:
I've seen quite a few versions of this floating around out there, but none of them
quite right.  Feel free to comment on any mistakes you see, but this sounds really close.
G7 chord during the bridge may be off by a trivial note or two, but everything else 
good.  The whole song sounds best plucked, not strummed.  I could have gone into more
with the arpeggiated chords that start at the bridge, but I think this suffices.  Great 
song, enjoy!  dniete97@hotmail.com
