Chords for Waiting For A Girl Like You (Acoustic Live from the GRAMMY Museum)

[Ab] _ _ [Abm] _ [Gb] This next tune, I think _
[Abm] Mick has a little story to tell.
Would you mind telling a [Ab] story about this tune?
Well, I talked about it a bit earlier when we were talking.
And _ this song has had an effect on me.
[G] _
From the moment that I first started writing it, [Bb] _
it was very emotional.
_ _ From there to the recording of the song, _ we had recorded most of the song
and it came down to [Ab] putting the vocal on.
_ [Bb] The singer at the time, Lou, _ was [G] ready to sing
and [Am] suddenly a very beautiful girl walked into the studio
and nobody really knew who it was. _
[G] Red hair?
_ _ _ I think so, yeah.
_ _ Oh, there's another one back there, yeah.
So you can be the girl.
_ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] And she just stood there while Lou was singing
and I think he was entranced by her
and really he sang an incredible _ performance of it.
And that's what stayed on the record.
And right at the end of the song, she _ disappeared
[A] and nobody knew who she was and where she'd [N] come from
but Lou had sung the song to her
and whether she knows or not, to this day, I don't know.
But if _ [Abm] you're listening or watching, wherever you are,
_ we've been waiting quite a long time. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _ [Abm] _

_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Abm] So _ [Gb] long, [Ebm] _ I've [Abm] been looking too [Gb] hard
I've been waiting too long
[Abm] Sometimes I [Gb] don't know what I will find
[Abm] I only know it's [Gb] a matter of [Ebm] time
When you love [Bbm] someone, _ _ [Ebm] when you love someone
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] Feels so right, [Db] so warm and true
[Ebm] I need to know if [Bbm] you [Eb] feel it too
[E] _ _
Maybe [Gb] I'm wrong
Won't [E] you tell me if I'm [Gb] coming on too strong
[E] This part of mine's [Gb] been hurt before
[E] This time I want [Gb] to be sure
_ [E] [Dbm] I've been waiting _ for a girl like you
[A] To come into [Dbm] my _ _ life

[A] The love that will [Gbm] _ _ survive
[Dbm] I've been waiting for someone new
[A] To make me feel [Dbm] _ alive

_ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _
It's [Gb] so good _ [Abm] when we make love
[Gb] It's understood, [Abm] it's more than a touch
[Gb] Or a word we say
[Abm] Only in dreams [Ebm] could it be this way
When you love [Db] someone, yeah, [Ebm] _
really love [Db] someone
_ [Eb] _ _ [E] _
Now I [Gb] know it's right
[E] From the moment I [Abm] wake [Gb] up to deep in the night
[E] There's nowhere on earth [Gb] I'd rather be
[E] Than holding you [Gb] _ tenderly

[A] To come into my [Dbm] life
[Abm] _ _ [Dbm] _
I've been waiting for a girl like you
[A] The love that will [Gbm] survive
_ [Dbm] I've been waiting _ for someone new
[A] To make me [Dbm] feel alive
Yeah, I've been waiting for a girl like you
[A] To come into [Gbm] my life _ _ _
