C Dm7 Am F
C Dm7 Am F
[Verse 1]
C
He just turned ninenteen, she's twenty-two
Am F
Now he got laid off this afternoon
C Am
She's workin' part-time in a second-hand store
Em F
Stackin' dreams like books on her bedroom floor
C Am
They burn the evenin', smokin' the dragon
Em F
'Cause in oblivion, it feels like heaven
C Am
She said, "It's true, I been
Em F
Waitin' for somebody like you"
[Chorus]
C Dm7
I let my guard down for a moment
Am F C
Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too
Dm7
I've been waitin'
Em F
Waitin' for somebody like you
[Post-Chorus]
C Dm7 Am F
For somebody like you
C Dm7 Am F
For somebody like you
[Verse 2]
C
She built her kingdom on a secret
Am F
Walls are fallin' down and mother's weepin'
C Am
There's gotta be a way to turn invisible
Em F
Father's on his knees, prayin' for miracles
C Am
While she is drivin' down to Georgia
Em F
With the sunset kissin' her shoulders
C Am
God knows it's true, I been
Em F
Waitin' for somebody like you
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
When I was scared, washed-out, and lonely
I needed somebody to hold me
[Chorus]
C Dm7
I let my guard down for a moment
Am F C
Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too
Dm7
I've been waitin'
Em F
Waitin' for somebody like you
C Dm7
I let my guard down for a moment
Am F C
Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too
Dm7
I've been waitin'
Em F
Waitin' for somebody like you
[Post-Chorus]
C Dm7 Am F
(Woo) For somebody like you
C Dm7 Am F
...
[Bridge]
Em F
Oh, eternal silence
Am C G Em
Nobody here to steal our time
F
Sunburnt skin and
Am C G F
There are no mountains we need to climb
Em
If you Go there, I will Go there
Am G F
Never look back 'cause we still got time
Em
All of my life, I've been waitin'
Am G
I've been waitin' for somebody like you
[Interlude]
C Dm7 Am F
For somebody like you
[Chorus]
C Dm7
I let my guard down for a moment
Am F C
Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too
Dm7
I've been waitin'
Em F
Waitin' for somebody like you
C Dm7
I let my guard down for a moment
Am F C
Wherever you go, I'll be goin' too
Dm7
I've been waitin'
Em F
Waitin' for somebody like you
He just turned 19, she's 22
Now he got laid off this afternoon
She's working part-time in a second-hand store
Stacking dreams like books on her bedroom floor
They burn the evening, smoking the dragon
'Cause in oblivion it feels like heaven
She said, "It's true, I've been
Waiting for somebody like you"
I let my guard down for a moment
Wherever you go, I'll be going too
I've been waiting
Waiting for somebody like you
For somebody like you
For somebody like you
She built her kingdom on a secret
Walls are falling down and mother's weeping
There's gotta be a way to turn invisible
Father's on his knees praying for miracles
While she is driving down to Georgia
With the sunset kissing her shoulders
God knows it's true, I've been
Waiting for somebody like you
When I was scared, washed-out, and lonely
I needed somebody to hold me
I let my guard down for a moment
Wherever you go, I'll be going too
I've been waiting
Waiting for somebody like you
I let my guard down for a moment
Wherever you go, I'll be going too
I've been waiting
Waiting for somebody like you
Wouh
For somebody like you
Oh, eternal silence
Nobody here to steal our time
Sunburnt skin and
There are no mountains we need to climb
If you go there, I will go there
Never look back 'cause we still got time
All of my life, I've been waiting
I've been waiting for somebody like you
For somebody like you
I let my guard down for a moment
Wherever you go, I'll be going too
I've been waiting
Waiting for somebody like you
I let my guard down for a moment
Wherever you go, I'll be going too
I've been waiting
Waiting for somebody like you
