Dm  D#             A#
He broke your heart, he took your soul
Dm   D#         A#        F
You hurt inside  'cause there's a hole
Dm   D#               A#
You need some time to be alone
Dm   D#           A#            F
Then you will find what you've always known

D# Gm                   F
I'm the one who really loves you baby
D#          F
I've been knocking at your door

Chorus:
    Dm         D#     A#
As long as I'm living I'll be waiting
    Dm         D#      A#          F
As long as I'm breathing I'll be there
    Dm        D#     A#
Whenever you call me I'll be waiting
    Dm        D#     A#        F
Whenever you need me I'll be there

I've seen you cry into the night
I feel your pain can I make it right
I realize there's no end in sight
Yet, still I wait for you to see the light

I'm the one who really loves you baby
I can't take it anymore

Chorus

D#          A#/D          Cm       A#/D
You are the only one I've ever known
D#            A#/D                     Cm       A#/D
That makes me feel this way girl, you are my own
D#       A#/D         Cm           A#/D
I wanna be with you until we're old
             F
Because the love you need is right in front of you
Please come home

Chorus - x2
