INTRO (listen to the CD and pick on the rhythm):

D   D/C#   D/B   D/A (repeat twice)

   D  /C#        /B  /A         D   /C#         /B  /A
If you  wait for me     then    I'll   come for you
  G      A    Bm       A 
Although I've traveled far
  G  A   Bm      G        A         D     /C# /B /A
I always hold a place for you in my heart
   
If you think of me, If you miss me once in awhile
Then I'll return to you                 D     /C# /B /A
I'll return and fill that space in your heart

             Bm
Remembering
     G 
Your touch
     A
Your kiss
     D    /C# /B
Your warm embrace
     G       A   D    /C# /B
I'll find my way back to  you
     G       A   D   /C# /B /A    D   /C# /B /A
If you'll be waiting

If you dream of me like I dream of you 
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

Chorus

I've longed for you and I have desired 
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are 

Remembering 
Your touch 
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
                         D   /C# /B /A    Bm
Please say you'll be waiting 

           G     A
Together again
          D       /C#    /B
It would feel so good to be
         G    A
In your arms
       D     /C#      /B
Where all my journeys end
                    G      A
If you can make a promise
         D       /C#     /B       G               A
If it's one that you can keep, I vow to come for you
   G    A       D   /C# /B /A /F#           G    A     Bm
If you wait for me                     and say you'll hold
   G        A   (pause)           D    /C# /B /A
A place for me          in your heart
                         D    /C# /B /A
A place for me in your heart
A place for me in your heart
A place for me in your heart.    ---->(end on D)
