[Intro: ]B F# G#m E B F#
B F# G#m E B F#
Goodbye four leaf clovers Hello gone awry
B F# G#m E B F#
Don't cry the fight ain't over Unless you let it pass you by
B F# G#m
I'm looking for a song to sing
E F#
I'm looking for a friend to borrow
B F# G#m E F#
I'm looking for my radio so I might find a heart to follow
B F# G#m
I've never been just longing for your loving
E F#
I've never been just wearing down to nothing
B F# G#m
I've never been just looking for a reason
E F# B F# G#m E F#
So that maybe you'd be thinking of me
All that I have found in reason Is reason just to not believe
When all that you're left is treason It's treason just to let it be
I'm looking for a song to sing
I'm looking for a friend to borrow
I'm looking for my radio so I might find a heart to follow
I've never been just longing for your loving
I've never been just wearing down to nothing
I've never been just looking for a reason
So that maybe you'd be thinking of me
E B
These blue yonder dreams and second hand shoes
F# B
You're so far gone that you live to lose
E B G#m F#
It's too late to go home all alone
E B
You're the tar in that old cigar
F# B
And the worn out cable on a cable car
E B F#
And you're too tired to admit you've got to choose
I'm looking for a song to sing
I'm looking for a friend to borrow
I'm looking for my radio so I might find a heart to follow
I've never been just longing for your loving
I've never been just wearing down to nothing
I've never been just looking for a reason
So that maybe you'd be thinking of me
