[Intro]
Bm
[Verse]
Bm D
I’ve felt you coming, girl, as you drew near
G D
I knew you’d find me, cause I longed you here
G D
Are you my destiny? Is this how you’ll appear
C
Wrapped in a coat with tears in your eyes?
A
Well, take that coat, babe, and throw it on the floor
G D C G Bm
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?
[Verse]
Bm D
As you’ve been moving surely toward me
G D
My soul has comforted and assured me
G D
That in time my heart it will reward me
C
And that all will be revealed
A
So I’ve sat and I’ve watched an ice-age thaw
G D C G Bm
Are you the one that I’ve ben waiting for?
[Verse]
Bm D
Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built
G D
Out of longing great wonders have been willed
G D
They’re only little tears, darling, let them spill
C
And lay your head upon my shoulder
A
Outside my window the world has gone to war
G D C G Bm
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?
[Bridge]
A
Oh, we will know, won’t we?
G A Bm
The stars will explode in the sky
A
Oh, but they don’t, do they?
G A Bm
Stars have their moments and then they die
[Verse]
Bm D
There’s a man who spoke wonders, though I’ve never met him
G
He said ”He who seeks finds
D
And who knocks will be let in”
G
I think of you in motion
D
And just how close you are getting
C
And how every little thing anticipates you
A
All down my veins my heart-strings call
G D C D Bm
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?
G D C D Bm
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?
