[A] I know that's a [E] victory.
Though I went through some nights consumed [A] by the shadows, I was [E] crippled emotionally.
[F#m] Somehow I made [E] it through the [C#m] heartache.
I [F#m] [C#m] escaped.
[C#]
[F#m] I found my way [C#m] out of darkness.
I kept my [A] faith.
When [E] the river was deep, I [A] didn't fall.
Though the mountain [E] was high, I still [A] believed.
The valley [E] was low, it [A] didn't stop me no more.
[F#m] I knew [C#m] you were waiting.
[A] I knew you were waiting for [E]
me.
Uh-huh.
With an endless dream, I [A] kept on searching.
Sure [E] in time, I believed.
Like bridges on fire, [A]
[E] one touches me free.
[F#m]
I don't regret [E] a single moment.
[F#m] No, I don't.
I know you don't.
[C#m] Looking [C#] back, [F#m]
when I think of all [E] those disappointments,
[A] today, I know you can't.
I can't.
When [E] the river was deep, I [A] didn't fall.
Though the mountain [E] was high, I still [A] believed.
The [E] valley was low, it [A] didn't stop me.
I [F#m]
knew you were waiting for [E]
me.
So we [A] were [Am] drawn [E] together [G#] through [C#m] destiny.
Oh, boy.
I know [A] this [Am] love we [E] share is [F#] meant [D] to be.
I [F#m]
knew you [C#m] were [F#m] waiting.
[C#m] Woo hoo!
I knew [F#m] you were waiting.
I knew you [A] were [E] waiting for me.
Uh-huh
I didn't [A] [E]
believe.
[A] When the valley [E] was low, it [A] didn't stop me.
I know it can't stop me [F#m] now.
I knew you were waiting.
Yeah.
[A] [E] Waiting for me, I ourselves.
[A] When the [C#m] valley
[E] [A] [E]
was low, it didn't [A] stop me.
I know it didn't stop me.
[F#m] I knew you [C#m] were waiting.
Stop [F#m] me.
Do you [A] remember when you were waiting for [E] me?
But I still [A] need [E]
[A] you
Oh, I still [E]
need you
[A] You're standing there, you're gonna stop me [F#m] now
[C#m] Do you remember when you said [F#m] that you'd wait [A] for [E]
me?
I'm holding [A] on to you
I'm barely [E] running low
I'm still thinking of you
