G                 A                            G                      A
  To Love and get away before the walls have a risen, you've got to be free.

G              A                            G                        D
  But to go on attempting to break into the prison you'd have to be me.
G                A                         G                        A
  I wait for the sun to rise over the mountain, I wait for your touch.
G                 A                  G                   D
  I wait for your angels to carry me home, but i wait to much.

Waiting for you
G                           D                  G                    D
  I have no problem telling right from  wrong, fiction from what's true

Waiting for you
G                        D                   G                   A
  No problem telling the dream from the dawn, My problem is you.---

Waiting for You
G         A            D                 G        A        D
  Waiting here for you, (waiting for you) waiting here for you--

Repeat intro

Verse 2, same chords
I wanted to live on the realm of the senses you've got to know how.
And for some kinds of pleasures there are no defenses, I know it now
Our love is a crackling ladder of lightning, our love is a fire.
Our love is a wave moving deep in an ocean of need and desire
Waiting for you
I have no problem with this crooked world, I play the cards I drew
Waiting for you
No problem with the changes life has hurled, my problem is you
Waiting for you
Waiting here for you, (waiting for you) waiting here for you.

Verse 3
same chords as above, except that each line starts with the first two
bars of the intro.
I need your wonder and I need your light
I need your tender touch to heal the night
I need you laughing and i need you free
And I need to lock you away deep inside of me

G6(leave high E open) D
Waiting for you
repeat 4 times

I have no problem telling right from wrong, the way that some people do.
Waiting for you
I know exactly where these arms belong, my problem is you
Waiting for you
Waiting here for you, (waiting for you) waiting here for you.

G6(leave high E open) D
Waiting for you
repeat 4 times

And I don't worry about the ozone layer, just let those rays come through
Waiting for you
When I'm outside I keep my clothes on, my problem is you
Waiting for you
Waiting here for you
Waiting for you

And I don't worry about Madonna, or the next thing  she might do
And I don't worry about your Mamma, my problem is you.
