(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           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.
