Looking For Something Chords

(ver. 1)
Paolo Nutini
Intro  Am D Dm Am x 2 
       Am D D Am x 4  

Verse 1 
Am 
Now the dirt is washed away
        D
And all alibis are out
                                        Am
And the hands that used to heal me only curse me now.
                         D
The echoes of a woman so kind
                                         Am
Rain like waterfalls and ice-cream on my worried mind.
                             D
I lay there in the puddle of myself
                                       Am
Fishing for a brand new wish from that bucket down the well.
                             D
And in her colours I find my faith,
                                      Am
Cause I remember every word that lady used to say.

Chorus 
         E                      Dm
She said hearts can't break themselves
            Am
Looking for something, leaving with nothing
    E                  Dm 
But souls can save themselves
             Am        G         Am    D
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
D                                 Am 
Be a long way home without you
It's such a long way home without you.
D     D     Am 
Yeah, yeah.

Verse 2 
Am
Miss my mother, like no other,
        D
Made me human, made me brother
                                               Am
Hands would swell and they would blister for my sake and my sisters
                                  D
The guardian of my karma, keep my feet on terra firma
                                        Am
And then release me like a scion to the sky!


Chorus 
              E                      Dm
She said that hearts can't break themselves
               Am
Looking for something, leaving with nothing
    E                  Dm
But souls can save themselves
            Am         G          Am D D Am  
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
Am                  D          D Am 
This heart can tell sometime

Verse 3
Am
Sister, you have some hungry eyes
D
Can bite back you're hypnotized
Smiling faces in disguise
Am
Can bite back you're hypnotized.
Keep going against the grain
D                                    
And soon that's all, soon that's all you'll know
                Am
And soon that's all you'll know
And let's get this straight
                                   D
Sometimes you'll rise, and there's times you'll fall
After all, you're just blood and bones
              Am
And you don't owe no one nothing
No, you don't owe no one
              D
So don't live like one price is right,
                                                    Am 
Cause there's some things in your life that you can fight!

Chorus
              E                     Dm
She said that hearts can't break themselves
            Am 
Looking for something, wind up with nothing
    E                 Dm
But souls can save themselves
            Am         G          Am D
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
D        Am 
Of mine.

Am D D Am
 
Outro 
         E                      Dm
She said hearts can't break themselves
            D                              
Looking for something, leaving with nothing
    E                  Dm
But souls can save themselves
             D
Learning to fly, learning to fly
              E                  Dm  
She said that souls can save themselves
            Am               D
Learning to fly, learning to fly
   E                  Dm 
Oh souls can save themselves
            C
Learning to fly, learning to fly
   E           Dm 
Oh momma, how I love you!
            C  
Learning to fly, learning to fly
   E            Dm 
No momma, how I love you
            Am         G          Am D  D
Learning to fly, sweet mother of mine!
                          Am 
We're a long way home without you
