[Intro]
Em F#m G A x2
[Verse 1]
G D
Well, I spent a lifetime lookin' for you
G D A
single bars and good time lovers were never true
G D
playing a fool's game, hopin' to win
G D A A/G F#m Em
and tellin' those sweet lies and losin' again
[Chorus]
D
I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
F#m
lookin' for love in too many faces
G
searchin' their eyes
G
lookin' for traces
Em F#m G A
of what I'm dreamin' of
D
Hoping to find a friend and a lover
F#m
I'll bless the day I discover,
G Em A D
another heart, lookin' for love
[Verse 2]
G D
And I was alone then, no love in sight
G D A
I did everything I could to get me through the night
G D
I don't know where it started or where it might end
G D A A/G F#m Em
I turned to a stranger just like a friend
[Chorus]
D
I was lookin' for love in all the wrong places
F#m
lookin' for love in too many faces
G
searchin' their eyes
G
lookin' for traces
Em F#m G A
of what I'm dreamin' of
D
Hoping to find a friend and a lover
F#m
I'll bless the day I discover,
G Em A D
another heart, lookin' for love
[Bridge]
G
And you came a knockin' at my heart's door
Em F#m G A
you're everything I've been lookin' for
[Chorus]
D
There's no more lookin' for love in all the wrong places
F#m
lookin' for love in too many faces
G
searchin' their eyes
G
lookin' for traces
Em F#m G A
of what I'm dreamin' of
D
Now that I found a friend and a lover
F#m
I bless the day I discovered
G Em A D
you, oh you, lookin' for love
