   To Love and get away  before the walls have a risen,  you've got to be free.
   But to go on attempting  to break into the prison  you'd have to be me.
   I wait for the sun  to rise over the mountain,  I wait for your touch.
   I wait for your angels  to carry me home,  but i wait to much.
 Waiting for you
   I have no problem telling right  from wrong, fiction  from what's true
 Waiting for you
   No problem telling the dream  from the dawn, My  problem is you.---
 Waiting for You
   Waiting here  for you, (waiting  for you) waiting  here for  you--
 Repeat intro
 Verse 2, same chords
 I wanted to live on the realm of the senses you've got to know how.
 And for some kinds of pleasures there are no defenses, I know it now
 Our love is a crackling ladder of lightning, our love is a fire.
 Our love is a wave moving deep in an ocean of need and desire
 Waiting for you
 I have no problem with this crooked world, I play the cards I drew
 Waiting for you
 No problem with the changes life has hurled, my problem is you
 Waiting for you
 Waiting here for you, (waiting for you) waiting here for you.
 same chords as above, except that each line starts with the first two
 bars of the intro.
 I need your wonder and I need your light
 I need your tender touch to heal the night
 I need you laughing and i need you free
 And I need to lock you away deep inside of me
  (leave  high
   open)
 Waiting  for you
 repeat 4 times
 I have no problem telling right from wrong, the way that some people do.
 Waiting for you
 I know exactly where these arms belong, my problem is you
 Waiting for you
 Waiting here for you, (waiting for you) waiting here for you.
  (leave  high
   open)
 Waiting  for you
 repeat 4 times
 And I don't worry about the ozone layer, just let those rays come through
 Waiting for you
 When I'm outside I keep my clothes on, my problem is you
 Waiting for you
 Waiting here for you
 Waiting for you
