[Verse]
F#
 All the times that I worked
   B                F#
hard because I believed
                      B
That life could have meaning
                       G#m
 through things I've achieved
 F#   B                      F#
You knew I was lookin' for You
                      B
Every time I thought romance
                    F#
 might fill up the hole
                 B
That incomplete feeling still
              G#m
 ached in my soul
G#m       B
Oh, You knew I was lookin'
       F#  F# C#
 for You

[Chorus]
        F#       G#m
Down a hundred highways
       D#m       B
of empty pursuit
       F#        G#m
And a thousand foolish
    D#m            B
things I went through
        F#       G#m
Didn't know it back then
    F#        B
 but now I do
       D#m
I was lookin' for You,
   C#      B
 I was lookin' for You
       F#
Hmm mm mm

 F#                    B
When I couldn't find comfort
                         F#
in the things I could buy
                    B
When the party was over and
      F#         G#m
 the bottle was dry
F#        B
Oh mm mm mm, I was lookin'
       F#
 for You
                C#
Oh, and I went searching

empty pursuit
       F#        G#m      D#m
And a thousand foolish things

[Break]
    B
Looking to live my heartaches
             F#
Through the valleys of pain
            B
Down those pathways full of pleasure
           F#
And those dead end roads of shame
       G#m                F#
Oh, I couldn't name the hunger
        B              D#m B
That I tried to satisfy

[Chorus]
        F#       G#m
Down a hundred highways
      D#m       B
 of empty pursuit
       F#        G#m
And a thousand foolish
    D#m            B
 things I went through
      F#        G#m
In a moment I looked up
         D#m         B
from down on my knees
       F#            G#m
And I cried out to Heaven,
            F#       B
I could finally see
 F#      G#m    F#            B
Jesus, Jesus, I know it's true
 F#         G#m         B           F#
All of my life I was lookin' for You
