Oh Lord, won't you listen in to me now?
G/D D  G/D                        D
Oh Love,  I got to get me back to you somehow

Chorus:
C                  G    D   C   G
I never knew that life was loaded
C                     G    D    G
I'd only hung around birds and bees

I never knew that things exploded
C                G    D     C          G      D
I only found it out when I was down upon my knees
                C                    D
Looking for my life, looking for my life

Oh boy, you've no idea what I've been through
Oh love, I feel so stuck that I can't get to you

Chorus:
Had no idea that I was heading
Toward a state of emergency
I had no fear where I was treading
I only found it out when I was down upon my knees
Looking for my life
Caught up on me with intensity
Had no idea where I was heading
I only found it out when I was down upon my knees
Looking for my life, looking for my life

Oh boys, you've no idea what I've been through
Oh love, I got to get back somehow to you

Chorus:
I never knew that life was loaded
I'd only hung around birds and bees
I never knew that things exploded
I only found it out when I was down upon my knees
Looking for my life
I never got any G.C.E.s
I never knew that things exploded
I only found it out when I was down upon my knees
Looking for my life, looking for my life
Looking for my life, looking for my life
