[Verse 1]

C

I don’t know what’s wrong today

Am

why we keep makin’ the same mistakes

F

It’s all fun and games til the bough breaks

G

and the earth shakes, why do we still hate

[Bridge 1]

Am C

Don’t ya know that love’s the only way

Am G

To heal what’s killin’ us every single day

F

Like Jesus and Ghandi and MLK

G

They said love everybody and don’t be afraid

[Chorus]

C Am

I’m just tryin’ to find a little peace of mind, this side of heaven

F G

I’ve just got to get back a piece of mine, this side

C Am

I’m just tryin’ to find a little peace of mind, this side of heaven

F G C

I’ve just got to get back a piece of mine, this side, this side of heaven

[Bridge 2]

Am C

There’s more of me, like Doctor Who, I’m bigger on the inside

F G

if you could see into, the window of my skull

Am C

When the winter of my discontent has frozen on my hide

F G

witnessing the sinking of my hull

[Verse 2]

C

I just listen to the radio, it makes my blood flow

Am

Honeysuckle breeze breathing in my soul

F

And I sit down with a bottle of brown

G

With an old guitar and play that sweet sound

[Interlude]

C Am F G

[Bridge 3]

Am C

Though I’m still achin’ in my bones

Am G

I can feel relief when that music takes me over

F

I just gotta let go, play what I know

G

Let my heart cry out, til everybody knows

[Chorus]

C Am

I’m just tryin’ to find a little peace of mind, this side of heaven

F G

I’ve just got to get back a piece of mine, this side

C Am

I’m just tryin’ to find a little peace of mind, this side of heaven

F G C

I’ve just got to get back a piece of mine, this side, this side of heaven

G C

this side, this side of heaven
