Here it is, chords for "The Search Is Over", from the Album "Vital Signs", a
very powerful song by the musical trio Survivor. I finally sat down at my
piano and got started at figuring it out. I am not sure if the Chorus is 100%
correct, so if you have any input, email me.
Key: Eb
Intro: Eb Ab Bb Eb(2 times)
Verse 1:
Eb Eb/Ab Ab
How can I convince you, what you see is real?
Eb Eb/Ab G
Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel?
Cm Gm Ab Eb Bb/D Cm
I was always reaching, you were just a girl I knew.
Cm Gm Ab G
I took for granted the friend I have in you.
Chorus:
F/A C Am G
I was living for a dream, loving for a moment.
F/A C Am G
Taking on the world, that was just my style.
Eb Ab Bb/D
Now I look into your eyes, I can see forever.
Cm Ab Bb Eb
The search is over, you were with me all the while.
Verse 2: (Same Chords as Verse 1)
Can we last forever, will we fall apart?
At times it's so uncertain, these questions of the heart.
You've followed me through changes, and patiently you'd wait, Till I came to
my senses through some miracle of fate.
Chorus: (See above)
Bridge:
Eb Eb/D Cm Bb Ab Eb
Now the miles stretch out behind me, loves that I have lost.
Eb Eb/D Cm Bb Ab Eb/Ab
Broken hearts lie victims of the game.
Fm Cm Bb (Eb/Ab)
Then good luck, it finally struck like lightning from the blue.
Fm Eb Eb/G Bb
Every highway leads me back to you.
Verse 3:
Eb Eb/Ab
Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done.
Eb Eb/Ab
The search has come full circle.
Ab Gsus4 G
Our destinies are one.
Cm Gm Eb Bb/D Cm
So if you ever loved me, show me that you give a damn.
Gm An G
You'll know for certain the man I really am.
Repeat Chorus
Finale:
Eb Ab Bb/D
Then I touched your hands, I can hear you whisper:
Cm Ab Bb
The Search is over, Love was right before my eyes.
Eb Ab Bb Eb (Three Times)
I hope you enjoy this one as much as I do!
Pax Vobiscum,
Tim
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official SURVIVOR tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
