E
I will wait like nothing I have ever waited for

E
I will catch your tears from falling

      D       A          E
Until from my hands they pour
[Verse 2]
E
You can leave me here abandoned

E
I′ll be here if you walk back in

E
Like the rest I have been branded

   D     A         E
So far beneath the skin

   D     A         E
So far beneath the skin
[Chorus]
E                       D             C#m   C
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be forgiven

D         E             D             C#m   C    D  
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be forgiven
[Verse 3]
E
Here I have been standing

E
But the time has come and gone

E    
I tried singing to you

        D         A        E 
But you turned my words to stone
[Verse 4]
E
Here I have been waiting, it seems for quite a while

E
Changed all my reflections

      D          A      E
But inside still just a child

      D          A      E
But inside still just a child
[Chorus]
E                       D             C#m    C
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be forgiven

D         E             D             C#m  C    D  
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be forgiven
[Guitar Solo] E C D E C E C D [Verse 5]
E
These eyes weren't made for crying

E
This love wasn′t made to waste

E
These arms weren't made for battle

       D        A      E
But to share in your embrace

        D        A      E
Just to share in your embrace
[Chorus]
E                       D             C#m   C
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be forgiven

You shall be, you shall be, you shall be forgiven

          E             D             C#m   C D E
You shall be, you shall be, you shall be forgiven

          D             C#m   C    D E
You shall be, you shall be forgiven
