VERSE 1 

G                C  
Waking up from another day dream 
Em                   C 
Like a ghost, all alone again 
G                        C 
There was a world that I thought I knew  
         Em                  C 
But I've never met someone quite like you 


PRE-CHORUS:
   
Am          Bm7 
Days drift by 
         C                           D 
If it's a dream I don't want to wake up 
Am        Bm7 
Close my eyes 
                C                           D 
If this ain't real I don't wanna know 

 
G                             C 
Waiting for you, it's been a long time coming 
  Em                        C 
I can't keep counting the days 
          G                             C  
I've been waiting for you, it's been a long time coming 
Em                     C 
Long time coming, but now you're coming around 


VERSE 2:
 
G                   C  
I could drown in a sea of people 
Em                             C 
But you're the ship that could sail me home 
G                   C  
And for so long I never knew  
              Em                C 
That I could ever meet someone quite like you 

PRE-CHORUS: 

Am             Bm7 
The world goes by 
           C                          D 
If it's a dream I don't want to wake up 
Am      Bm7 
Close my eyes 
             C                              D 
If this ain't real I don't wanna know 


 
G                             C 
Waiting for you, it's been a long time coming 
  Em                        C 
I can't keep counting the days 
   G                             C 
If you take my hand then maybe I'll stop running 
Em                  C 
I'll stop running away 
        G            C 
Give it up, give it up 
             Em                      C 
Cause this city's been dragging you down 
           G                             C 
I've been waiting for you, it's been a long time coming 
Em                     C                                    Am 
Long time coming, but now you're coming around
