Through the verses and chorus, just strum the chords. If you have two
guitars playing at once, one guitar playing the arpeggiation in the intro
sounds cool.

VERSES AND CHORUS:

Play the same chords as in the introduction.

   D  /C#        /B  /A         D   /C#         /B  /A
If you  wait for me     then    I'll   come for you

Although I've traveled far
  G  A   Bm      G        A         D     /C# /B /A
I always hold a place for you in my heart

If you think of me, If you miss me once in awhile

In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

Chorus

I've longed for you and I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you

It would feel so good to be
         G    A
In your arms
       D     /C#      /B
Where all my journeys end
                    G      A
If you can make a promise
         D       /C#     /B       G               A
If it's one that you can keep, I vow to come for you
   G    A       D   /C# /B /A /F#           G    A     Bm
If you wait for me                     and say you'll hold
   G        A   (pause)           D    /C# /B /A
A place for me          in your heart
                         D    /C# /B /A
A place for me in your heart
A place for me in your heart
A place for me in your heart.    ---->(end on D)
