Intro:  A5  A5  D5       (repeat) 
VERSE: 
A5  A5  D5  A5 
If you wait for me 

Then I'll come for you 
  C#5         D5       E5           
Although I've travelled far 
  C#5    D5  D5         E5        A5 -- 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: 
A5  E5      F#5    D5       E5          A5    E5 F#5 
Remembering your touch, your kiss, your warm embrace, 
     D5   E5   A5    E5  F#5 
I'll find my way back to you 
   D5    E5 E5 A5  -- 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#5       D5 E5         A5       E5       F#5 
Together again,  it would feel so good to be 
       D5 E5      A5      E5        F#5 
In your arms  Where all my journeys end 
                   D5  E5        A5        E5       F#5 
If you can make a promise  If it's one that you can keep 
  D5          E5        A5   E5       A5  A5  D5  A5  E5 
I vow to come for you  If you wait for me 
    C#5  E5     D5 
And say you'll hold  
  D5         E5          A5 
A place for me in your heart
