[Verse 1]
A                           Dsus2    A
In the medieval night, twas love's design
        F#m     E           A
And the sky was open like a valentine
Dsus2         A             Dsus2  A
 All the lacy lights, where wishes fall
         F#m                E                  A
And like Shakespeare's child, I wished on them all
F#m             E           Dsus2          A
Ahh, to be your destiny was  all that I pursued
        F#m                     E                     Dsus2              Bm
I could see the sights from the lofty heights, but my heart obscured the view


[Chorus]
      Dsus2       A  Dsus2            A  Dsus2
I was looking for you,    looking for you
             F#m E                  A
What could I do,  I was looking for you


[Verse 2]
 Dsus2          A            Dsus2    A
Along the black river, the ambassador jewels
               F#m    E              A
And you were reflected in all that I saw
       Dsus2     A            Dsus2     A
In the towers of gold, in the wheel and wing
            F#m   E                A
Gripping my senses like an ancient claim
D                 F#m                   D                     A
Many's the time I knelt in the light, appealing to all that I knew
Bm                F#m              Dsus2     E
Guide my eyes and steps that I may find love true


[Chorus]
      Dsus2       A  Dsus2            A  Dsus2
I was looking for you,    looking for you
             F#m E                  A
What could I do,  I was looking for you


[Verse 3]
Dsus2   A                 Dsus2    A
Come on darlin', all that hearts desire
              F#m    E                A
Was written before us in the medieval fire
       Dsus2    A           Dsus2      A
It was love's design in the glittering star
                   F#m  E                A  Dsus2 A Dsus2
Like Shakespeare's child to be where you are


[Outro]
            A  Dsus2            A  Dsus2
Looking for you.    Looking for you
            A  Dsus2            A  Dsus2
Looking for you.    Looking for you
         A              Dsus2                         A
From the Portobello Road,    to the Port of Marseilles
                  Dsus2            A              Dsus2
Where the dervish turns, where the wild goats play
            A  Dsus2
Looking for you... x12
