[N] [F]
[D]
I got to sleep on [C] a closed lap to [Bb] keep me up high.
I [Dm] can't keep [C] my eyes open no matter [Bb] how I try.
[Dm] I got to sit [C] down, I can't [Bb] steer my feet.
[Dm] I've been up all [D] night, I've been walking [B] the streets.
I had to
[Bm] look for my baby.
Everywhere I've gone, every eye I've been missing.
God, I've been on a roll.
[D]
Up on [C] a mountain in a battle [Bb]
wildcat.
[D] Walk over [C] Niagara [Bm] and all the way back.
But [C] lost in the jungle [Bm] and I live of a dream.
[D] What I would once do if you were here [Bm] with me.
I'm gonna find your baby.
God, I'm working for him.
And I'd like to speak to him.
Let it happen, Lord.
[D]
Lord, [G] I was looking for your baby.
Every county that I've been by.
I was fixing to sell the New Year and they said [D] you can't have gone too far.
But [G] you've gone far enough, baby.
[D] I've found out you've done me wrong.
[E] Now, as you know, who's to blame?
I'm [C] working for him.

Well, I could sleep [F] on the table playing on the [Bb] jumbo jack.
[Dm] Walk over [C] the ocean, and [Bb] I'd never once get hurt.
[Dm] Go skiing on a [C] massif.
And that's what [Bb] I would once do.
[D] Maybe a dozen times if you're here.
I'd love [Bm] to.
Look for you baby, everywhere I go, every eye that's looking for you baby, you might be there the most.
[D]
I don't need anybody [C] close by to [Bb] be just fine, [D] I can't keep my [C] eyes open no [Bb] matter how I try.
[C] I'm gonna sit down and [Bb] stay on my [Dm] feet, I've been up all night, I've been walking.
I'm gonna sit [Bm] down and stay, look for you baby, everywhere I go, every eye that's looking for you baby, you know it's not on your own,
