 The intro is a riff played many times throughout the song. I am referring to it
 the “intro” because it is a specific, unchanging chord progression and is of course
 in the beginning of the song.
 Strumming in the intro is a simple down/up/down/up/down/up/down pattern with the chords
 on each up and down stroke. Progression is: Em(var.)|Emadd9|Em|Em7|Em|Em|C|. Listen to
 song for the timing.
 INTRO X 2
I  was walking up the street
I  was thinking about my dreams  that might  come true
 With you.
 INTRO X 2
I  was whispering in my sleep
All  the secrets that I keep  I told  to you
I  do, I  do, I  do, I do
  Intro , , ,
 I do, I do, I do, I do.
I  was running home to you
I  was hoping that you knew  I'd wait  for you
  Intro , , ,
 I do, I do I wait for you
  Intro , , ,
 I do, I do I wait for you
  Intro
 I do, I do I wait for you
 Intro
 Oh but you knew
 You knew,  you knew,  you knew.
