                    E                     A 
Like a warrior that fights, and wins the battle
                          E
I know the taste of victory
                                                    A 
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  C#7
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

Chorus:
                    E               A 
When the river was deep, I didn't falter
                       E                A 
When the mountain was high, I still believed
                     E               A 
When the valley was low, it didn't stop me, no no
   F#m7          C#m7      F#m7           A            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

Chorus:
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    A   E            G#  C#m
So we were drawn together through destiny
             A    A    E                  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            E
I knew you were waiting , knew you were waiting for me
