Looking into you – Jackson Browne (CD: Saturate Before Using)
Time: 6/8
Intro: |D |G |D |BmA | |G |DA |G |G/A |
DG Well I looked into a house I once lived in DBm Around the time I first went on my own AGD When the roads were as many as the places I had dreamed of AG And my friends and I were one DA/C#CG/B Now the distance is done and the search has begun DGDA I've come to see where my beginnings have gone
DG Oh the walls and the windows were still standing DBm And the music could be heard at the door AGD Where the people who kindly endured my odd questions AG Asked if I came very far DA/C#CG/B And when my silence replied they took me inside DGDD7 Where their children sat playing on the floor
GDGD Well we spoke of the changes that would find us farther on GDA And it left me so warm and so high GDGD But as I stepped back outside to the grey morning sun F#mBmEm/A I heard that highway whisper and sigh GG/A Are you ready to fly?
DG And I looked into the faces all passing by DBm It's an ocean that will never be filled AGD And the house that grows older and finally crumbles AG That even love cannot rebuild DA/C#CG/B It's a hotel at best, you're here as a guest DA You oughta make yourself at home while you're waiting for the rest
GD Well I looked into dream of the millions GD That one day the search will be through BmF#mEm/A Now here I stand at the edge of my embattled illusions GG/A Looking into you
Solo: |D |G |D |G | |Bm |F#m |Em/A |G/A |
DG The great song traveler passed through here DBm And he opened my eyes to the view AGD And I was among those who called him a prophet AG And I asked him what was true DA/C#CG/B Until the distance had shown how the road remains alone DA Now I'm looking in my life for a truth that is my own
GD Well I looked into the sky for my anthem GD And the words and the music came through BmF#mEm/A But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen G Looking into you - and that’s true
