OneRepublic - Connection

[verse]

C
These days my waves get lost in the oceans
F C
Seven billion swimmers, man i’m going through the motions
C
Sent up a flare, i need love and devotion
F C
Traded for some faces that i never know, notion

C
Maybe i should try to find the old me
F Am
Take me to the places and the people that know me
C
Tryna disconnect, thinking maybe you could show me
F C
If there’s so many people here, why am i so lonely?

[chorus]

C
Can i get a connection?
F Am
Can i get, can i get a connection?
C
Can i get a connection?
F Am
Can i get, can i get a connection?

[verse]

C
Good friends, good friends hard to find, let’s face it
F Am
Bought the perfect home and there’s a flood in the basement
C
Made a couple dollars now and i ain’t tryna chase it
F Am
Kids from oklahoma, man we don’t waste it

C
I’m just tryna paint the picture for me
F Am
Something i could give a damn about at maybe 40
C
Years and i’ll be ready and willing, be able to edit the story
F Am
Cause there’s so many people here to be so damn lonely

[chorus]

C
Can i get a connection?
F Am
Can i get, can i get a connection?
C
Can i get a connection?
F Am
Can i get, can i get a connection?

C
I can see it in my
F Am
See it in my reflection

C
Can i get a connection?
F Am
Can i get, can i get a connection?

[bridge]

C
Right now, right now, i’m switching to a new lane
F C
Foot to the floor, i’m searching for the real thing
C
Met somebody else, sometimes ain’t no shame
F
Head to the clouds sayin’

[chorus]

C
Can i get, can i get a connection?
F Am
Can i get, can i get a connection?

C
Can i get a connection?
F Am
Can i get, can i get a connection?

C
I can see it in my

See it in my reflection
