[Intro 1]
[F][Dm][F][G]
[D][G][D]
[G][Dsus4][G][D]

[Verse 1]
Like a warrior that [D]fights
and wins [G]the battle
I know the taste of [D]victory
Though I went through some nights
consumed [G]by the shadows
I was crippled emotion[D]ally

[Verse 2]
[Em]Somehow I made it [G]through the [Bm]heartache,
yes, I [Em]did
[G]Oh, I esc[Bm]aped (ah[B]a h[Em]a)
I found my way out [G]of the [Bm]darkness
I kept [G]my faith (I know you
did), kept my faith

[Verse 3]
When the river was deep[D],
I didn't fal[G]ter
When the mountain was [D]high, I still [G]believed
When the valley was [D]low,
it didn't [G]stop me, no no
I [Em]knew you were waiting,
[G]I k[Em]new you w[G]ere waiting for m[D]e
[Dm]Uh huh
[G][D][Dsus4][D]

[Verse 4]
With an endless desire,
I [G]kept on searching
Sure in time our eyes [D]would meet
And like a bridge that's on fire,
the [G]hurt is over
One touch and you [D]set me free

[Verse 5]
[Em]No, I don't re[G]gret a single [Bm]moment,
no, I [Em]don't
(I know you don't) Look[G]ing [Bm]back
[Em]When I think of all those
[G]disap[Bm]pointments
I just [G]laugh (I know you
do), I just laugh

[Verse 6]
When the river was deep[D],
I didn't fal[G]ter
When the mountain was [D]high, I still [G]believed
When the valley was [D]low,
it didn't [G]stop me, oh
I [Em]knew you [Bm]were waiting,
hey, I [Em]knew you [G]were waiting for me
[D]So we wer[G]e drawn

[Verse 7]
[Bm]to g[G]ethe[Bb]r[G][D]
through [F#]des [Bm]tiny, ooh boy, ooh
I know [G]this love [Bb]we sh[G]are[D]
was [G]meant to [C]be, oh
[Em](Knew you were[Bm] waiti[G]ng) Ooh,[Em]
yeah
(Knew you [Bm]were waiting) I knew
[Em]you were waiting
(Knew you [G]were waiting [D]for me)

[Verse 8]
[G](I didn't falter) I didn't falter, [D]no
[G](I still believed) When
the valley was [D]low
(It didn't [G]stop me) Nothing can stop me,
[Em]no
(Knew you were waiting) No, I
(Knew you [G]were waiting for
[Bm]me)[D]
[G](I didn't falter) When
the mountain [D]was high
(I still be[G]lieved) Oh,
when the valley was [D]low
(It didn't stop [G]me) No,
it didn't stop me, no
[Em](Knew you were [Bm]waiting) stop
[Em]me
(Knew you [G]were waiting for me)
(I didn't [D]falter[G] ) Oh[D], oh yeah
(I still be[G]lieved) Oh,
I still be[D]lieved
(It didn't stop me) Do you [G]know
it couldn't stop me now? No
[Em](Knew you were waiting)
Someday [Bm](someway), some
[Em]plac[G]e (somehow)
For [D]me
(I didn't falter[G]) When
the valley was [D]low
(I still believed) I [G]still believe (I be[D]lieved,
I believed)
(It didn't [G]stop me) Yeah, it
couldn't stop me
