C5        G5 *  G5               
Here you come along,
A5                      D5              G5
I take a breath and remind myself that I too can be strong
A5                      D5
Thought I was cool, turns out I'm a fool
A5                      D5
Clearly you've proved me wrong
G5                        A5          D5            G5
I didn't know what I was missing when I was alone.

Chorus:
        C5        G5 *   G5
And now I'm fruitlessly waiting for
A5                      D5                     G5
Someone not thinking before they start rushing to my door
A5              D5
Someone to run not walk
A5              D5
Oh, someone to sing not talk
A5              D5
Oh, no hesitiation at all
G5               A5             D5       G5
Sometimes I need you to be the one to call
A5                         D5
Well im lost in my thoughts they tumble ahead
A5                  D5
Over and over again, yeah it's true


            C5       G5 *                G5
Just take a look at what's been done to me
C5              G5 *                     
I wasted time to ponder
C5              G5 *
Here I am now, all Alice in Wonder
G5               A5                    D5
Partly I do this to myself but why can't you see
G5               A5                     D5
The gesture is small but know that it means the world to me
A5                          D5
Oh, forgive me for wanting, I'm only learning life
A5                          D5
Forgiven myself and now, there's no returning
G5               A5             D5
I want to be the one who knows the best way
G5               A5             D5
I want to be the one who knows the best way
G5               A5             D5              G5                      
I want to be the one who knows the best way to love you
            C5  G5 *     G5
But now I'm foolishly waiting for
A5                      D5                      G5
Someone not thinking before they start rushing to my door
A5                D5
Someone to run not walk
A5                     D5
Oh, someone to sing not talk
A5                   D5
Oh, no hesitation at all
G5               A5            D5         G5
Sometimes I need you to be the one to call
G5       A5          D5         G5
I need you to be the one
G5       A5          D5         G5
I need you to be the one
G5       A5          D5         G5
I need you to be the one

Outro: 
G5       A5     D5      G5 
G5       A5     D5      G5

Note: I think the G* she uses is a weird variation that I can't seem to find, but 
this is close enough for now.
If you have a correction, please put it in the comments and I'll edit, thanks.
