           Am            D9
I've been looking for a woman
C           D9
To save my life ;
F       Em        F     Em
Not to beg or to borrow.

   Am             D9
A woman with the feeling
C         D9
Of losing once or twice.
F             Em             F    Em
Who knows how it could be tomorrow?

Chorus:
           Am            Am/G
I've been waiting for you
                 D/F#       F
And you've been coming to me
            D         Am7 Am
For such a long time now
        F           Am7 Am
Such a long time now

           Am             Am/G
I've been waiting for you
                 D/F#         F
And you've been coming to me
            D          Am7 Am
For such a long time now
        F           Am7 Am
Such a long time now
        D           Am7 Am
such a long time now
        F           Am7 Am
Such a long time now...
