C

C                    F            C
If you have to go to Paris in the spring
C                    F                C
If it’s not time for you to wear this ring
   E                                  Am
If you need time to clear your mind until you have a clue
C      F        C
I will wait for you

C                   F        C
If you need another month to think
C              F             C
If you need an even stronger drink
E                                  Am
If your fears convince you you are bound to break in two
C      F        C
I will wait for you
C      F        C
I will wait for you

Em              F
  Years ago you couldn’t pin me down
Em              F
  I was running running all over town
Em                    F
  I couldn’t hear the sweet sound
        G
Of your voice

   C                 F                C
If you’re afraid and all that you can hear
        C                         F         C
Is your heartbeat and the blood inside your ears
    E                           Am
If worry is an ocean and you’re drowning in the blue
C      F        C
I will wait for you

C                  F               C
If your eyes won’t close until the dawn
C                 F                C
If you still need all the curtains drawn
E                                    Am
When you can’t stop thinkin bout the drop of the other shoe
C      F        C
I will wait for you
C      F        C
I will wait for you

Em                 F
  It’s not fair to say I should move on
Em                 F
  It’s your terror not me who will be gone
Em                          F
  Until that day comes I’ll just sing songs
    G
For you

        G                                   Am
They’ll be there when you’re back up on your feet
    Em                 Am
The world continues to spin
Fm                                    C
Where you’ll be is not where you have been

C             F              C
One April day all the clouds’ll part
    C                 F             C
And you will hear the music of your heart
E                                   Am
Til you’ve the urge to reemerge and come back into view
C      F        C
I will wait for you

   C           F                C
In forty years if you’re still around
          C                  F           C
If you’re in our house while I am in the ground
E                            Am
If I reach the holy gates of heaven before you do
C      F        C
I will wait for you
C      F        C
I will wait for you
