Cm                        D#
I’ve felt you coming, girl, as you drew near
G#                           D#
I knew you’d find me, cause I longed you here
G#                          D#
Are you my destiny? Is this how you’ll appear
              C#
Wrapped in a coat with tears in your eyes?
A#
Well, take that coat, babe,
and throw it on the floor
    G#      D#       C#         G#     Cm
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?

As you’ve been moving surely toward me
My soul has comforted and assured me
That in time my heart it will reward me
And that all will be revealed
So I’ve sat and I’ve watched an ice-age thaw
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?

Out of sorrow entire worlds have been built
Out of longing great wonders have been willed
They’re only little tears, darling, let them spill
And lay your head upon my shoulder
Outside my window the world has gone to war
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?

             A#
Oh, we will know, won’t we?
G#        A#                   Cm
The stars will explode in the sky
              A#
Oh, but they don’t, do they?
G#                A#                   Cm
Stars have their moments and then they die

There’s a man who spoke wonders though
I’ve never met him
He said, “He who seeks finds and
who knocks will be let in”
I think of you in motion and just
how close you are getting
And how every little thing anticipates you
All down my veins my heart-strings call
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?
Are you the one that I’ve been waiting for?
