Verse 1:
A                       E
 Another question in me, one for the powers that be
B                            C#m
 It's got me thrown and so I put on my poker face
A                         E
 And try to figure it out, this undenyable doubt
B                    C#m
 A common occurence, feeling so out of place
A                        E
 Guarded and cynical now, can't help but wondering how
B                        C#m                    A
 My heart evolved into a rock beating inside of me
      E
 So I reel, such a stoic ordeal
B
 Where's that feeling that I don't feel


Chorus:
E                            C7
 There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain
G                            B
 And like a child he would believe without a reason
E                        C7
 Without a trace he disappeared into the void and
G                    B                       C
 I've been searching for that missing person


Verse 2 (same as verse 1):
 Under a lavender moon so many thoughts consume me
 Who dimmed the glowing light that once burned so bright in me
 Is this a radical phase, a problematical age
 That keeps me running from all that I used to be
 Is there a way to return, is there a way to unlearn
 That carnal knowledge that's chipping away at my soul
 I've been gone too long, will I ever find my way home


Chorus 2:
E                            C7
 There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain
G                            B
 And like a child he would believe without a reason
E                        C7
 Without a trace he disappeared into the void and
G                    B
 I've been searching for that missing person
E                          C7
 He used to want to try to walk the straight and narrow
G                           B
 He had a fire and he could feel it in the marrow
E                            C7
 It's been a long time and I haven't seen him lately but
G                    B
 I've been searching for that missing person
C
 For that missing person
