I've looked under chairs
I've looked under tables                    C
I've tried to find the key to fifty million fables
                 D    D    C  G     D    C  G
They call me the Seeker
                            A...      (C) F  C
I've been searching low and high     
                                  C G                A...
I won't find what I'm after     'til the day I die

[repeat verse pattern with riff, below]
I asked my idols, questions to my mother
I bought tickets just anywhere 
Hoping to discover
They call me the Seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after 'til the day I truly die

D                     G D                    G
People tend to hate me   'cause I never smile
     A                              G     A         G
As I ransack their homes they wanna shake my hand
D                   G  D                  G
Focusing on nowhere, investigating miles
      E                              E7
I'm a Seeker, I'm a really desperate man

I asked Bobby Dylan, I asked the Beatles, I asked Timothy Leary
But he didn't help me either
They call me the Seeker
I've been looking low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after 'til the day I die

Keep lookin'
[repeat verse/chorus for instrumental]

I won't get to get what I'm after 'til the day I die

I learned how to raise my voice in anger
Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile
I'm happy when life's good and when it's bad I cry
I got values but I don't know how or why

I'm looking for me, you're looking for you
                                                       C
We're looking at each other and we don't know what to do
They call me the Seeker        
                                              C   F C
I've been searching low and high
                                   C G                 A...
I won't get to get what I'm after       'til the day I die

I won't get to get what I'm after 'til the day I die
