[Verse 1]
[Am]    Time was drift - [A4]ing, this r[Am]ock had got to [Am]roll, [G] [F]
                                                ^   ^   ^
So I hit the road, and made my ge[Am]taway,  [Abmaj7-5]  /_/     [Bbm7]/_/
                                           ^ ^     ^ ^
[Am]    Restless feel - [A4]in'  ...r[Am]eally gotta h[Am]old, [G] [F]
                                          ^   ^^  ^
I started searching for a be[D]tter w[D]ay!
                            ^     ^

[Chorus]
And I k[C]ept on looking for a s[G]ign in the middle of the n[Dm]ight,
But I couldn't see the l[Dm]ight,[Em] ^^ [F]^ no, I couldn't see the li[C]ght, [G]
I k[C]ept on lookin' for a w[G]ay to take me through the n[Dm]ight---,
Co[Em]uldn't get it r[Bb]ight, I couldn't get it ri[D]ght!


[Verse 2]
  Am       A4    Am       A4

                                       ^    ^    ^
But, I must admit, it got the b[Am]est of me, [Abmaj7-5]  /_/     [Bbm7]/_/
                                            ^ ^     ^ ^
[Am]    Gettin' down,[A4]     so d[Am]eep I could've dr[Am]owned, [Am] [G] [F]
                                            ^      ^ ^   ^
Now I can't get back the way I u[D]sed to [D]be!
                                ^      ^

[Chorus]
But I ke[C]pt on looking for a si[G]gn in the middle of the n[Dm]ight,
But I couldn't see the l[Dm]ight,[Em]    [F]  no, I couldn't see the li[C]ght, [G]
I k[C]ept on lookin' for a w[G]ay to take me through the n[Dm]ight---,
Cou[Em]ldn't get it ri[Bb]ght, I couldn't get it ri[D]ght!
