Intro: F/A  Em7  Am/C 
       F/A  Em7  Am/C

F/A
   The telephone's not answered 
Em7     Am/C
   So many times you'll call 
F/A
   For many different reasons 
Em7      Am            F/A
   So many tears will fall before 
 
                    Em7
You find your love before 
   Am/C                   F/A
It comes knocking at your door 
                   Em7
Before you know for sure 
     Am                         F
This is what you were waiting for 
 
So many fears will haunt you 
Deny them or regret 
Some men will make you want to 
And you will not forget before 
 
You find your love before 
It comes knocking at your door 
Before you know for sure 
This is what you were waiting for 
 
Dm9                   G
   There's a story of a man  
             Am
who loved too much 
           Em                Dm9
He ended up inside a prison cell 
                         G
You've got to want to give to get it 
Am                         Em              Dm9
Or you could land up in the same suspicious hell 
F                  Em7       Am             F
   It's happened before (Before Before Before) 
                 Em7       Am
 It's happened before (Before Before) 
 
Coincidence and patience 
Will mend this fatal flaw 
Though it may seem a long wait 
Others have been here before 
 
You find your love before 
It comes knocking at your door 
Before you know for sure 
This is what you were waiting for 
 
One day, when the phone starts ringing 
You'll answer to the words you're longing for 
No tears, no trade, no prison cell 
Whatever you need, he will return more 
It's happened before (Before Before Before) 
It's happened before (Before Before) 
 
You find your love before 
It comes knocking at your door 
Before you know for sure 
This is what you were waiting for 
 
You find your love before 
It comes knocking at your door 
Before you know for sure 
This is what you were waiting for 
 
It's happened before (Before Before Before) 
It's happened before (Before Before)
