Lookin' for the You in Someone New

Capo 3rd fret


G   Bm   C   D   G


G
Sometimes there's a sweeter curve,
Bm
A different way to touch the nerve,
C                                      Am
Excitin' just because it's strange and new.
C                 Am
But then the novelty wears thin;
G                  E
I have to face the fact again:
C                   D              G
I'm lookin' for the you in someone new.

So I invent new fantasies
Of brand new thrills I think I need,
Then I seek them out, but when I'm through,
It hurts me then to realize
It's just a futile exercise:
I'm lookin' for the you in someone new.

C
And all the time I look for you,
    G
I'm blind to everything I see.
Am
I could miss Miss Wonderful
C                    Am                D - D/C - D/B - D/A
If she were standin' right in front of me.

So I flirt and carry on,
A not-so-satisfied Don Juan.
I'm sorry I don't know what else to do.
To some it must look pretty sad
To search so hard for what I had:
Lookin' for the you in someone new.

And all the time I look for you,
I'm blind to everything I see.
I could miss Miss Wonderful
If she were standin' right in front of me.

Maybe someday I'll discover
The one who is the perfect lover,
And I can close the books on me and you,
Bring this searchin' to an end,
Never have to go again
Lookin' for the you in someone new.

(Words and music by Bob Gibson, 1980)
