           Am                      D7
I've been waitin' on the wind to change direction
      Am                   D7
It's been such a very long time
      Am                 D7
Since I've been able to make a decision
            E7       Am
That won't waste my time

So I went out searching for freedom
Oh, and I went out searchin' for truth
But what I found was not what I expected
'Cause all those things, they lie inside of you

Chorus:
     F              Am
But, oh, don't you fall
           F            Am
Into that pit of loneliness
        F                 Am
'Cause I've been there before
       F       E      Am
And I did not get no rest

Well, I see you've been waitin' on something to
Come and brighten your day
Well, I'm here now to tell you that you've got
To let go of that way

Once it's gone you'll feel so free
You'll never ever look back again
Just like a bird flyin' through the trees
With no path to guide, where the hell you put your
feet?

Chorus:
Now, don't you fall into that
Pit of loneliness
'Cause I've been there before
And I did not get no rest
And I did not get no rest
And I did not get no rest
