Tom :A

Intro:  A  A7M/G#  Dmaj9       (repeat) 
VERSE: 
A  A7M/G#  Dmaj9  A/E 
If you wait for me 

Then I'll come for you 
  C#m         D7M       E           
Although I've travelled far 
  C#m    D7M  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    D7M       E          A    E F#m 
Remembering your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace, 
     D7M   E   A    E  F#m 
I'll find my way back to you 
   D7M    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       D7M E         A       E       F#m 
Together again,  it would feel so good to be 
       D7M E      A      E        F#m 
In your arms  Where all my journeys end 
                   D7M  E        A        E       F#m 
If you can make a promise  If it's one that you can keep 
  D7M          E        A   E7       A  A7M/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)
