C#m7        G#/C               E
Well let's take off from the start
              F#m7              E
I know you've tried all this before
              F#/A#             A6
And did your best to fight the war
And break it off

But if I follow my name
I will calm you in the storm
And breathe you in when you are worn

Be still my love
Would it take a shooting star?
To show you life can bloom when something breaks
And when the pieces fall,
I'll catch them all

Chorus:
C#m7   G#/C
Never mind what you're looking for
E
You'll always find what you're looking for
F#m7              E
 Sometimes it's blinding in the race
F#/A#          A6
I'll be here smiling when I see your face
C#m7   G#/C
Never mind what you're looking for
E
You are gonna find what you're looking for
F#m7             E
Sometimes it's blinding in the race
F#/A#           A6
I'll be here smiling when I see your face

Oh yeah, it's hard to know the truth
In this post-modernist view
Where absolutes are seen as
relics and laughed out of the room
And I'm scared to say your name
I've cried wolf so many times
I'm afraid of what you'd want from me
Yeah, will you find me through the grey?
'Cause my mind's a minefield of the wretched
It's honestly deceptive 'cause

Chorus:
Never mind what you're looking for
You'll always find what you're looking for
Sometimes it's blinding in the race
But I'll be here smiling when I see your face
Never mind what you're looking for
You're gonna find what you're looking for
Sometimes it's blinding in the race
But I'll be here smiling when I see your face

(What you're looking for)
(Soul, clap your hands and sing)

Chorus:
Never mind what you're looking for
You'll always find what you're looking for
Never mind what you're looking for
You'll always find what you're looking for
