Gretchen Peters - I Was Looking For You
CAPO: 2nd fret
INTRO: G C G C G
C
I was born with a hunger nobody could name
Mama said I was restless, just made that way
Am7 D7
But I was looking for you
G C G
I was looking for you
C
I'd wake up crying and she'd hold me tight
But something about it just didn't feel right
Am7 D7
'Cause I was looking for you
G C
I was looking for you
CHORUS:
C
I was looking for you all this time
G
I was looking for you, hoping I'd find
C
A little light in the darkness
Em7
A little shelter at sea
Am7 C
A little sign from above, now
G C G
That you were looking for me, oooh
C
I used to ride down Main Street in the middle of the night
I was looking for trouble and I found it all right
Am7 D7
It was easy to do
G C G
I was looking for you
C
And I thought it was a miracle when you looked my way
And I felt my heart beat when I heard you say
Am7 D7
I was looking for you
G C
Girl, I was looking for you
CHORUS:
C
I was looking for you all this time
G
I was looking for you, hoping I'd find
C
A little light in the darkness
Em7
A little shelter at sea
Am7 C
A little sign from above, now
G C G C G
That you were looking for me, yeah, yeah
C
One day it's rapture, the next despair
I pulled up at a stoplight and I saw you there
Am7 D7
And I saw her too
G C G
I was looking for you
C
Last night I met someone and I looked in his eyes
Took me a minute 'fore I realized
Am7 D7
That I was looking for you
G C
I was looking for you
CHORUS:
C
I was looking for you all this time
G
I was looking for you, hoping I'd find
C
A little light in the darkness
