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
[riff for second guitar]
