Verse:
C
  He just turned ninenteen, sheʼs twenty-two
Am                    F
Now he got laid off this afternoon
 C                      Am
Sheʼs workinʼ part-time in a second-hand store
Em                    F
Stackinʼ dreams like books on her bedroom floor
 C                       Am
They burn the eveninʼ, smokinʼ the dragon
 Em                      F            C
ʼCause in oblivion, it feels like heaven
                 Am
She said, "Itʼs true, I been
 Em           F
Waitinʼ for somebody like you"

Chorus:
C               Dm 
I let my guard down for a moment
 Am           F                 C

She built h?r kingdom on a secret
 Am                         F
Walls are fallinʼ down and moth?rʼs weepinʼ
 C                         Am
Thereʼs gotta be a way to turn invisible
 Em                      F
Fatherʼs on his knees, prayinʼ for miracles
 C                    Am
While she is drivinʼ down to Georgia
 Em              F
With the sunset kissinʼ her shoulders
 C              Am      Em
God knows itʼs true, I been

Waitinʼ for somebody like you

Bridge:
     Em      F
Oh, eternal silence
 Am     C        G        Em
Nobody here to steal our time
      F
Sunburnt skin and
 Am           C             G       F
There are no mountains we need to climb
            Em
If you Go there, I will Go there
