[Intro]
Bm

[Verse 1]
Bm                                     D
I’ve felt you coming, girl, as you drew near
G                                D
I knew you’d find me, cause I longed you here
G                            D
Are you my destiny? Is this how you’ll appear
              C
Wrapped in a coat with tears in your eyes?
A
Well, take that coat, babe, and throw it on the floor
     G       D        C          G     Bm
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?


[Verse 2]
Bm                       D
As you’ve been moving surely toward me
G                      D
My soul has comforted and assured me
G                         D
That in time my heart it will reward me
          C
And that all will be revealed
A
So I’ve sat and I’ve watched an ice-age thaw
     G       D        C          G    Bm
Are you the one that I’ve ben waiting for?


[Verse 3]
Bm                      D
Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built
          G               D
Out of longing great wonders have been willed
G                                    D
They’re only little tears, darling, let them spill
              C
And lay your head upon my shoulder
A
Outside my window the world has gone to war
     G       D        C           G    Bm
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?


[Bridge]
             A  
Oh, we will know, won’t we?
G                A             Bm      
The stars will explode in the sky
               A
Oh, but they don’t, do they?
G                   A                   Bm
Stars have their moments and then they die


[Verse 4]
Bm                                D
There’s a man who spoke wonders, though I’ve never met him
            G
He said ”He who seeks finds
D
And who knocks will be let in”
G
I think of you in motion
               D
And just how close you are getting
         C
And how every little thing anticipates you
A
All down my veins my heart-strings call
     G       D        C           D    Bm
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?
     G       D        C           D    Bm
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?
