  					capo:4th fret

  

  

  INTRO:  A  Amaj7/G#  Dmaj9       (repeat)

  

  VERSE:

  A  Amaj7/G#  Dmaj9  A/E

  If you wait for me

  Then I'll come for you

    C#m         Dmaj7       E          

  Although I've travelled far

    C#m    Dmaj7  D         E7        A -- repeat intro chords twice

  I always hold a place for you in my heart

  

  (repeat verse chords)

  If you think of me

  If you miss me once in a while

  Then I'll return to you

  I'll return and fill that space in your heart

  

  CHORUS:

  A  E      F#m    Dmaj7       E          A    E F#m

  Remembering your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace,

       Dmaj7   E   A    E  F#m

  I'll find my way back to you

     Dmaj7    E E7 A  -- repeat intro as before

  If you'd be waiting

  

  VERSE:

  If you dream of me

  Like I dream of you

  In a place that's warm and dark

  In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

  

  Oh I've longed for you

  And I have desired

  To see your face, your smile

  To be with you wherever you are

  

  REPEAT CHORUS

  

  VERSE:

  I've longed for you

  And I have desired

  To see your face your smile

  To be with you wherever you are

  

  LAST CHORUS:

  Remembering your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace,

  I'll find my way back to you

  Please say you'll be waiting

  

  FINALE:

  F#m       Dmaj7 E         A       E       F#m

  Together again,  it would feel so good to be

         Dmaj7 E      A      E        F#m

  In your arms  Where all my journeys end

                     Dmaj7  E        A        E       F#m

  If you can make a promise  If it's one that you can keep

    Dmaj7          E        A   E7       A  Amaj7/G#  Dmaj9  A/E  E

  I vow to come for you  If you wait for me

      C#m  E     Dmaj9

  And say you'll hold 

    D         E          A

  A place for me in your heart

  

  (sing last line three times over intro chords and quit)
