Intro:  E  A  A  E   


                    E                    A/E  
Like a warrior that fights, and wins the battle 
                          E  
I know the taste of victory 
                                                  A/E  
Though I went through some nights consumed by the shadows 
                        E  
I was crippled emotionally 
F#m7                          C#m7 
Somehow I made it through the heartache 
      F#m7     C#m7  
Yes I did, I escaped 
F#m7                      C#m7  
I found my way out of the darkness 
          A                 
I kept my faith (I know you did), kept my faith 




                   E              A/E  
When the river was deep, I didn't falter 
                      E               A/E  
When the mountain was high, I still believed 
                    E              A/E  
When the valley was low, it didn't stop me, no no 
  F#m7          C#m7     F#m7            A           A6 ? E       
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me 





With an endless desire I kept on searching 
Sure in time our eyes would meet 
Like the bridge is on fire 
The hurt is over, one touch and you set me free 
I don't regret a single moment, no I don't looking hack 
When I think of all those disappointments 
I just laugh (I know you do), I just laugh 


When the river was deep, I didn't falter 
When the mountain was high, I still believed 
When the valley was low, it didn't stop me 
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me 


            A/C# A/C E/B          G#  C#m  
So we were drawn together through destiny 
            A/C# A/C E/B                 D   
I know this love we  shared was meant to be 
  F#m7          C#m7     F#m7            C#m7       
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting 
  F#m7          C#m7     F#m7            A           A6 ? E       
I knew you were waiting , knew you were waiting for me
