Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Am c G x2


Verse:
Am
Waiting wanting
C                G
To see you in my eyes
Am
Finding feelings
C                         G
That I thought were buried inside

Verse:
Am
Because I never though that I
C                    G
Could ever love like this
Am
But you have
C
Proven me wrong


Chorus:
Am                   C
You the stranger who took a chance
G
Held me at a distance so I could see myself
Am                              C
So thank you for everything you gave without knowing
    G
And thank you for letting me fall in love
            Am       C       G
Without withholding
            Am       C       G
Without withholding


Verse:
Am
So let me in now
  C
I am ready to move
G
And here comes fear and resistance from you
        Am                    C                    G
And for once I am willing and now what i've got to wait?


Verse:
Am                           C
These lessons are everywhere in my life
           G
You know I never waited for anyone and I was always right
       Am            C
But ya now I give up I surrender
G                         Am     C     G
I would wait for you...forever


Chorus:
Am                   C
You the stranger who took a chance
G
Held me at a distance so I could see myself
   Am                           C
So thank you for everything you gave without knowing
    G
And thank you for letting me fall in love with you
            Am       C       G
Without withholding
            Am       C       G
Without withholding


Verse:
   Am
So come on and test me
C
Go on and try it
        G
Because I know that I fit perfectly inside you
       Am                         C
And to deny this love would be to deny your heart
    G
And you're going be the one who breaks it
            Am                  C      G
Baby if you choose to walk


Chorus:
Am                   C
You the stranger who took a chance
G
Held me at a distance so I could see myself
Am                              C
So thank you for everything you gave without knowing
    G
And thank you for letting me fall in love
Am                   C
You the stranger who took a chance
G
Held me at a distance so I could see myself
   Am                           C
So thank you for everything you gave without knowing
    G
And thank you for letting me fall in love
            Am       C       G
Without withholding
            Am       C       G
Without withholding


Am C G x2
