[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
