Em  C   Am   F


  C           D             G
    He wasn't looking for a pretty face
  C            D                 Bm       Em
    She wasn't searching for the latest style
  C           D                G
    He didn't want someone who walked straight off the TV
  C            D               Bm      Em  . . . D
    She needed someone with an interior smile


  C            D             G
    She wasn't looking for a cuddle in the back seat
  C           D             Bm          Em
    He wasn't looking for a five-minute thrill
  C            D             G
    She wasn't thinking of tomorrow or of next week
  C           D              Bm          Em  . . . D
    This vacancy he meant to permanently fill


      G           C     D
        I need an everlasting love
      G          C            D
        I need a friend and a lover divine
      G        C       D
        An everlasting precious love
        G            C            D
        Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time


Em  C   Am   F


  C             D           G
    Back in the world of disposable emotion
  C        D          Bm        Em
    In the climate of temporary dreams
  C           D             G
    He wasn't looking for a notch on his bedpost
  C           D               Bm           Em  . . . D
    A love to push, pull, and burst at the seams


      G           C     D
        I need an everlasting love
      G          C            D
        I need a friend and a lover divine
      G        C       D
        An everlasting precious love
        G            C            D
        Wait for it, wait for it, give it some time


Em  C   Am   F  . . . D


            G
            Is this love worth waiting for
            G          C    D
            Bitterness will die for sure
            G
            Something special, something pure
            G            C     D
            Is this love worth waiting for
