D    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           D    A
Yes I'll climb a mountain,
          E        A         D    A
I'm gonna swim the sea.
               E      A         D    A
There ain't no act of God, girl,
                E        A      D    A
Could keep you safe from me.
            Bm/F#    F#m        Bm/F#    F#m
My arms are reaching out,
        A
Out across this canyon,
D       A               E          A    D    A
I'm asking you to be my true companion,
     E       A      D    A
True companion,
     E       A      D    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      D   A
And when I take your hand,
              E         A       D    A
I'll watch my heart set sail.
             E          A       D    A
I'll take my trembling fingers,
              E       A         D    A
And I'll lift up your veil.
          Bm/F#    F#m      Bm/F#    F#m
Then I'll take you home,
         A
And with wild abandon,
D           A                E    A             D    A
Make love to you just like a true companion,
           E       A            D    A
You are my true companion,
        E       A               D    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       D    A
And when I look in your eyes,
           E        A           D    A
I'll still see that spark.
           E      A             D    A
Until the shadows fall,
           E         A          D    A
Until the room grows dark.
            Bm/F#       F#m     Bm/F#    F#m
Then when I leave this Earth,
                  A
I'll be with the angels standin'.
D                 A              E      A          D    A
I'll be out there waiting for my true companion,
E       A       D    A
True companion,
E       A       D    A
True companion.
