Standard (EADGBE)

  I cannot remember feeling quite so self assured

  It must have been back in my teens

  I was such a basket case when I was young

  It's obviously something that I dreamed

  I have always been a most reclusive kind of guy

  When love's around I usually run and hide

  But don't you go believing I was ever that confused

  I was really only waiting for you

  Really only waiting for you, what do you suppose that we can do

  Anything whatever that you want to last forever

  Really only waiting for you

  I cannot escape the overwhelming feeling

  Destiny has taken us in hand

  And nothing that we do is gonna change the way

  This love affair is never gonna end

  And I know it's hard getting used to the idea

  That your lover wants to be your best friend

  With a showing of affection and a measure of romance

  This is really only waiting for you

  Really only waiting for you, what do you suppose that we can do

  Anything whatever that you want to last forever

  Really only waiting for you

  Waiting, waiting, only waiting for you

  Waiting, waiting, only waiting for you

  I've been living by myself I do not want for someone else

  At least that's what I like to say

  It was working till the other day I met you

  And I fell in love from twenty yards away

  I've got one last truly great love left in my life

  And my heart is telling me it might be you

  So forget your disappointments I'll forget about my past

  I was really only waiting for you

  Really only waiting for you, what do you suppose that we can do

  Anything whatever that you want to last forever

  Really only waiting for you Repeat chorus
