Find One of My Own

(Key: C Major) (Tempo: Mid-slow, hopeful and heartfelt)

[Verse 1]

C
Seen a thousand sunsets fade to gray,
G
Watched a hundred dreams just slip away,
Am
Heard every song about hearts made of stone,
F G C
But I'm still out here to find one of my own.

[Verse 2]

C
Touched a few hands that never stayed,
G
Spoke a few words I wished I saved,
Am
Built a few castles just to stand alone,
F G C
Still got that fire to find one of my own.

[Chorus]

F C
Find one of my own, real and true,
G Am
Not just a shadow I’m talkin' to,
F C
Someone to stay, someone to know,
G F C
Still dreamin’ to find one of my own.

[Verse 3]

C
Walked through the rain, laughed through the tears,
G
Carried this hope across all these years,
Am
World keeps turnin’, seeds still sown,
F G C
I ain’t too tired to find one of my own.

[Chorus]

F C
Find one of my own, real and true,
G Am
Not just a shadow I’m talkin' to,
F C
Someone to stay, someone to know,
G F C
Still dreamin’ to find one of my own.

[Bridge]

Am F
Maybe she's closer than I see,
C G
Maybe she’s waitin’ just like me,
Am F
Two wandering hearts in the same unknown,
Dm G
Each out there to find our own.

[Final Chorus]

F C
Find one of my own, real and true,
G Am
Not just a shadow I’m talkin' to,
F C
Someone to stay, someone to know,
G F C
Still dreamin’ to find one of my own.

[Outro]

G F C
Still dreamin’ to find one of my own.

🎸 Musical Feel:
Soft acoustic strumming, light steel guitar swells in the background.
Gentle bass, simple brushed drums keeping it moving but tender.
Vocals warm and yearning, but hopeful at the edges.
