I've looked under chairs
I've looked under tables                    C
I've tried to find the key to fifty million fables

They call me the Seeker
A...      (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

[repeat verse pattern with riff, below]
I asked Bobby Dylan, I asked the Beatles, I asked Timothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either
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 die

I'm a Seeker, I'm a really desperate man

[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

We're looking at each other and we don't know what to do
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 die

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