Verse 1

C C/F (F G)
How can I convince you, what you see is real?
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel? 
I was always reaching, you were just a girl I knew.
I took for granted the friend I have in you. 

Chorus

D/E A (E/G#) D/F# Esus4 E
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment.
D/E A (E/G#) D/F# Esus4 E
Taking on the world, that was just my style.
D/E C (C/E) F Dm E7/G#
Now I look into your eyes, I can see forever.
The search is over, you were with me all the while.

Verse 2

C C/F (F G)
Can we last forever, will we fall apart?
At times it's so uncertain, the questions of the heart. 
You've followed me through changes, and patiently you'd wait, 
Till I came to my senses through some miracle of fate. 

Chorus

D/E A (E/G#) D/F# Esus4 E
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment.
D/E A (E/G#) D/F# Esus4 E
Taking on the world, that was just my style.
D/E C (C/E) F Dm E7/G#
Now I look into your eyes, I can see forever.
Amadd9 Am F G C (Csus2 C Csus4 C)
The search is over, you were with me all the while.

Bridge

Now the miles stretch out behind me, love that I have lost.
G/B Am Em(7) F (F/G F)
Broken hearts lie victims of the game.
Dm Am G (C/G C)
Then good luck, it finally struck like lightning from the blue.
Every highway's leading me back to you.

Verse 3

C C/F (F G)
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done.
The search has come full circle.
Our destinies are one. 
So if you ever loved me, show me that you give a damn.
You'll know for certain the man I really am. 

Chorus

D/E A (E/G#) D/F# Esus4 E
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment.
D/E A (E/G#) D/F# Esus4 E
Taking on the world, that was just my style.
D/E C (C/E) F Dm E7/G#
Then I touched your hands, I can hear you whisper:
The Search is over, Love was right before my eyes.
