He was there All the Time

* Play Dm7 on the fifth fret

(C) Time after (G/C) time
I went (Am/C) searching for (G/C) peace in some (Dm) void.
(Em/D - Dm7* - Em/D)
I was (Bb) trying to blame
All my (G7) ills on this world I was (C) in.
(G/C - Am/C - G/C)
(C) Surface re(G/C)lationships
(Am/C) used me 'til (G/C) I was done (Dm) in.
(Em/D - Dm7* - Em/D)
And (Bb) all of the while someone was (G7) begging
To free me from (C) sin.
(G/C - C - G)

Chorus:
He was (C) there (G/C) all the (F) time (Dm7)
He was (G) there all the (C) time (G/C)
Waiting (C) patient(G/C)ly in (F) line (Dm)
He was (C) there (G) all the (C) time.
(G/C - Am/C - G/C) (C - G/C - Am/C - G/C)

Never again
Will I look for a fake rainbow's end.
Now that I have the answer
My life is just starting to rhyme.
Sharing each new day with Him
Is a cup of fresh wine.
And oh what I missed,
He's been waiting right there all the time.
