  			Intro: E D E D 
 
E              
Walking down to the water's edge 
          D               E 
Where I have been before 
E                                          
If I don't find my love sometime 
         D                    E 
I'm walking out that door 
E 
Some may come and some may go 
D                             E 
But no-one seems to be 
E 
The person I've been searching for 
D                                E 
The one who's meant for me 
 
E                                      D 
   Biding my time, trying to find a heart that's lonely 
                  E         D 
Looking for her, my love my one and only 
                  E         D                                                              A 
Maybe I'll dream, tonight about the girl who'll be coming my way 
A                                           B        
So I'll take this chance and celebrate the day 
                             
 
        E 
I'm making my way through an open door 
      D                                  E 
I've got some love and so much more 
And I"m ready to make someone mine 
Making my way through an open door 
I've got some love and so much more 
And I'll find her, 'cos it's about time 
 
You try too hard and it feels just like 
You're running on thin air 
Why does luck happen by suprise 
If you don't really care 
The past is gone the flames are out 
From fires that have burned 
New ideals and different thoughts 
From lessons I have learned 
 
Biding my time, trying to find a heart that's lonely 
Looking for her, my love my one and only 
Maybe I'll dream, tonight about the girl who'll be coming my way 
So I'll take this chance and celebrate the day 
When I'm making my way through an open door 
I've got some love and so much more 
And I"m ready to make someone mine 
Making my way through an open door 
I've got some love and so much more 
And I'll find her, 'cos it's about time 
 
D                                                                  E 
Got the feeling this could take a pretty long while 
 
To find that smile 
D                                                           E 
Put my faith in another piece of good advice 
                            D 
Well I tried that twice 
                   D 
Waiting for, a little something more 
              B                                 E D E D 
To inspire, take me higher  ohhh  
E..... 
And I"m ready to make someone mine 
Making my way through an open door 
I've got some love and so much more 
And I'll find her, 'cos it's about time 
It's about time
