Fountain

[G  hammer-ons    7th Fret       
I am not like those before me
Standing in a suit
Now I face what stands before me
And I'm singing and I'm searching   
                                                           F    G    F    G 
Singing and I'm searching for myself

Once a man had two things that he cherished
Certain about his job and about his wife
Seems to me he must be doing drugs
Cause nothing's ever certain
                                                     F    G    F    G
Nothings ever certain in this life
G          Gsus4  G           Gsus4
Once I came across a fountain
G                   Gsus4        G                Gsus4
Made three wishes -- touched a dream
G           Gsus4  G            Gsus4
Like a thought turning me over
G         Gsus4  G         Gsus4    Bb           C       G      
Inspiration's spinnning me around and around
          Bb                                                 C    
And I wonder if I'm tripping on my words
                                                  G
And if I'm stumbling on my goals
    Bb                                      C          G  
Around and around and around I go

                 Bb           
So many things I stand to gain
                C                                                              G
So many things that I have known I stand to lose

Maybe it's for me to determine
Maybe I am like a book on a shelf
Read me once and tell me how I am
                                                                                    F    G    F    G                                                                     
Because I am singing and I'm searching for myself

You can ask me "What is it you're saying?
Who are you and what you trying to be?"
I'd like to be a cowboy in the movies
Smiling at the people
                                                  F     G                         F     G
Smiling at the people that I see….singing for myself
       Bb                      C                             G   
I'm singing and I'm searching for myself…
                Bb  
So many things I stand to gain

                C                                                         G
So many things that I have known I stand to lose
                Bb
So many things...
