Verse 1: 
 
 
Eb                              Cm             
I've been searching, I've been searching for so long

Now i'm chasing the shadows away

I've been trying, yes i tried to find my way

No more crying in the make or break decade

There were times when i was down

            Cm 
I've been walking in the rain

When the angel of my intuition whispered hello  
                               Cm 
Well i was quite surprised to face that kind of incarnation  
Ab                             Eb
