Intro: 
| E – A | A – E | 
                    E                    A/E 
Like a warrior that fights, and wins the battle
                          E 
I know the taste of victory
                                                  A/E 
Though I went through some nights consumed by the shadows
                        E 
I was crippled emotionally
F#m7                          C#m7
Somehow I made it through the heartache
      F#m7     C#m7 
Yes I did, I escaped
F#m7                      C#m7 
I found my way out of the darkness
          A                
I kept my faith (I know you did), kept my faith
                   E              A/E 
When the river was deep, I didn't falter
                      E               A/E 
When the mountain was high, I still believed
                    E              A/E 
When the valley was low, it didn't stop me, no no
  F#m7          C#m7     F#m7            A           A6 – E      
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me
With an endless desire I kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes would meet
Like the Bridge is on fire
The hurt is over, one touch and you set me free
I don't regret a single moment, no I don't looking hack
When I think of all those disappointments
I just laugh (I know you do), I just laugh
When the river was deep, I didn't falter
When the mountain was high, I still believed
When the valley was low, it didn't stop me
I knew you were waiting, I knew you were waiting for me
            A/C# A/C E/B          G#  C#m 
So we were drawn together through destiny
            A/C# A/C E/B                 D  
I know this love we  shared was meant to be
  F#m7          C#m7     F#m7            C#m7      
I knew you were waiting, knew you were waiting
  F#m7          C#m7     F#m7            A           A6 – E      
I knew you were waiting , knew you were waiting for me
