Verse 1:

 F [Fmaj7]  F7               [2: Fmaj7 implied by harmonies]
Now here we are together
Bb                          C7
This would have been worth waiting forever
F        Dm7                 Gm7     C7 [1: w/intro riff]
I always knew it'd feel this way
 F [Fmaj7]     F7            [2: Fmaj7 implied by harmonies]
And please forgive my shaking
 Bb                Gm       A7
Can't you tell my heart is breaking
 Dm Dm/maj7       Dm7      Am        Bb
Can't make myself say what I plan to say

Chorus:

Gm7/C   F [harmonies imply F9]
(Baby, please let me wonder)
                  D7
If I've been the one you love
                (please let me wonder)
                   Gm7         Gm7/C
If I'm who you're dreaming of
                (please let me wonder...
[1, 2:  Fmaj7   Gm7/C]
[3, 4:  Cm7/F   Fmaj7]
     ...love)          [3: (spoken) I love you]

Verse 2:

I built all my goals around you
That someday my love would surround you
You'll never know what we've been through
For so long I've thought about it
And now I just can't live without it
This beautiful image I have of you

Instrumental break (organ and guitar):
