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

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
