Written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love


INTRO:

E

/ / / /    / / / /    / / / /    / / / /

 

VERSE 1:

E*

I came along when he broke your heart
                F#m/E

That's when you needed someone
           D(nb)   B

To help forget about him



VERSE 2:

E*
I gave you love with a brand new start
                F#m/E

That's what you needed the most
            D(nb)        B

To set your broken heart free



BRIDGE 1:

G#m7                 G#m7/C#
I know you cried and you felt blue
A                       Am

But when I could I gave strength to you
G#m7        C#m7             Em/G    G#m/F#  

I'm waiting for the day when you can love 

E

again



VERSE 3:

E
I kissed your lips



And when your face looked sad
           F#m       

It made me think about him
             B

And that you still loved him so

VERSE 4:

             E

But you know that pretty soon



I made you feel glad
           F#m

That you belonged to me
         B

And love began to show

BRIDGE 2:

He hurt you then, but that's all gone
I guess I'm saying you're the only one
I'm waiting for the day when you can love 

again

You didn't think...
