I have [C]climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields only to [F]be with you, only to [C]be with you
I [C]have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls, these city [F]walls only to [C]be with you


[G]But I still [F]haven’t found [C]what I’m looking for
[G]But I still [F]haven’t found [C]what I’m looking for


I [C]have kissed honey lips, felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like [F]fire, this burning [C]desire
I have [C]spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of the devil
It was warm in the [F]night, I was cold as a [C]stone


But I [G]still haven’t [F]found what I’m [C]looking for
But I [G]still haven’t [F]found what I’m [C]looking for

[C]I believe in the kingdom come, then all the colours they will
bleed into one, bleed into [F]one, but yes I’m still [C]running
You broke the bonds [C]and you loosed the chains
Carried the cross of, of my shame, of my [F]shame
You know I [C]believe it


But I [G]still haven’t [F]found what I’m [C]looking for
But I [G]still haven’t [F]found what I’m [C]looking for
