Lyrics

It will find you at the bot tom of a bot tle,

it will find you at the nee dle’s end.

It will find you when you (Bm7)beg and steal and bor row,

it will fol low you in to a stran ger’s bed.

It will find you when they serve you with the pa pers,

it will find you when the locks have changed

a gain.

It will find you when you’ve called in all your fa vors,

it will meet you at the bridge ’s high (G)est ledge.

So ba by, don’t look down;

it’s a long way.

The sun will come a round

to a new day.

So hold

on,

love will find you.

Hold

on,

He’s right be hind you now.

Just turn a round

and love will find you.

It will find you when the doc tor’s head is shak ing,

it will find you in a board room, most

ly dead.

It will crawl in to the fox hole where you’re pray ing,

it will curl up in your half way emp (G)ty bed.

So ba by, don’t be lieve

that it’s o ver.

The May be you can’t see

’round the cor ner.

So hold

on,

love will find you.

Hold

on,

He’s right be hind you now.

Just turn a round

and love will find you.

and love will find you.

To hang be tween two thieves

in the dark ness,

love must be lieve you are worth it.

You’re worth it.

So hold

on,

love will find you.

Hold

on,

He’s right be hind you now.

Just turn a round,

He’s right be hind you (Bm7)now.

Just turn a round,

love will find (Dmaj9)you.

(Dmaj9)you.
