Verse 2, same chords
I wanted to live on the realm of the senses you've got to know how.
And for some kinds of pleasures there are no defenses, I know it now
Our love is a crackling ladder of lightning, our love is a fire.
Our love is a wave moving deep in an ocean of need and desire
Waiting for you
I have no problem with this crooked world, I play the cards I drew
Waiting for you
No problem with the changes life has hurled, my problem is you
Waiting for you
Waiting here for you, (waiting for you) waiting here for you.
Verse 3
same chords as above, except that each line starts with the first two

I need your wonder and I need your light
I need your tender touch to heal the night
I need you laughing and i need you free
And I need to lock you away deep inside of me

I have no problem telling right from wrong, the way that some people do.

And I don't worry about the ozone layer, just let those rays come through
Waiting for you
When I'm outside I keep my clothes on, my problem is you
Waiting for you
Waiting here for you
Waiting for you
And I don't worry about Madonna, or the next thing she might do
And I don't worry about your Mamma, my problem is you.
