(INTRO)
D(2) A/C# A(no3)
D A E A
Baby I've been searching like everybody else.
D A E D
Can't say nothing different about myself.
D A E A
Sometimes I'm an angel, And sometimes I'm cruel,
D A E A
And when it comes to love, I'm just another fool.
E A A
Yes I'll climb a mountain,
E A A
I'm gonna swim the sea.
E A A
There ain't no act of God, girl,
E A A
Could keep you safe from me.
Bm/F# F#m F#mF#
My arms are reaching out,
A
Out across this canyon,
D A E A A
I'm asking you to be my true companion,
E A A
True companion,
E A A
True companion.
(VERSE 2)
D A E A
So don't you dare and try to walk away.
D A E D
I've got my heart set on our wedding day.
D A E A
I've got this vision of a girl in white,
D A E A
Made my decision that it's you all right.
E A A
And when I take your hand,
E A A
I'll watch my heart set sail.
E A A
I'll take my trembling fingers,
E A A
And I'll lift up your veil.
Bm/F# F#m F#mF#
Then I'll take you home,
A
And with wild abandon,
D A E A A
Make love to you just like a true companion,
E A A
You are my true companion,
E A A
I got a true companion,
E A
True companion.
(VERSE 3)
D A E A
When the years have done irreparable harm,
D A E D
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm.
D A E A
Just like that couple on the corner do.
D A E A
'Cause girl I will always be in love with you.
E A A
And when I look in your eyes,
E A A
I'll still see that spark.
E A A
Until the shadows fall,
E A A
Until the room grows dark.
Bm/F# F#m F#mF#
Then when I leave this Earth,
A
I'll be with the angels standin'.
D A E A A
I'll be out there waiting for my true companion,
E A A
True companion,
E A A
True companion.
