[Verse 1]
C Am
This is just another day that I would spend waitin' for the right one
C Am
Staring at the night, and wishin' I could be the one to feel the warm sun...
[Pre Chorus]
F G
You're a dream, but I'm wide awake;
Am Em
I'm in Heaven, for Heaven's sake...
F Am
So get ready (get ready), I'm ready now (get ready);
F G
I could never need you more than now...
[Chorus]
C Am
You were worth the waiting for
C Am
You, the one that I adore...
F G C
Hold on to you tight, for once in my life...
Am
You were worth the waiting for
C Am
You, the one that I adore...
F G
This kind of love, you'll only find
C Am C Am
Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime...
[Verse 2]
C Am
Tell me that you're living in a place where no one else can find you;
Am Em
Tell me that you're singing out my name, hoping that I'll hear you...
[Pre Chorus]
F G
Tell me "no", and I'll fade away
F G
But this is lovin' that I won't waste...
F Am
So get ready (get ready), I'm ready now (get ready);
F G
I could never need you more than now...
[Chorus]
C Am
You were worth the waiting for
C Am
You, the one that I adore...
F G C
Hold on to you tight, for once in my life...
Am
You were worth the waiting for
C Am
You, the one that I adore...
F G
This kind of love, you'll only find
C Am C Am
Once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime...
[Bridge]
F Am
"What are the words I'm needin' to hear?"
F Am
"How do I know if I'll ever love again?"
F Am F G
Seeing your face makes everything clear... (clear...) clear
C
And I'll never be the same...
[Chorus]
Am C
You were worth the waiting for
Am
You, the one that I adore...
F G C
Hold on to you tight, for once in my life...

This kind of love, you'll only find
