[Verse 1]
E           A       B
In the snow I sleep freezing
E               A       B
Constantly coughing and wheezing
E              A           B
Been awake the whole night through
   E                 A           B
My mind reeling with thoughts of you


[Chorus 1]
D              C     A
Sitting in the north pole
D     C      A
It is really cold
D             C  A        D  D
But I'm still waiting for you


[Verse 2]
E             A       B
  My blood is cold as ice
   E                  A        B
If you were here that would suffice
 E              A      B
Staring blankly at the wall
E              A      B
Waiting patiently for your call


[Chorus 2]
D              C     A
Sitting in the north pole
D     C      A
It is really cold
D             C  A        D  D
But I'm still waiting for you


[Verse 3]
E                     A        B
  The bread you baked when you left
   E           A      B
Is now a solid rock a footrest
E                A        B
Tried to keep it warm for you
   E                 A          B
It didn't last three years only two


[Chorus 3]
D              C     A
Sitting in the north pole
D     C      A
It is really cold
D             C  A        D  D
But I'm still waiting for you

[Verse 4]
E                   A       B
  You said you'd be back in 10
E              A        B
Good thing I believe in Zen
E              A      B
You'll be back that I know
E                    A       B
Even though that was 3 years ago


[Chorus 4]
D              C     A
Sitting in the north pole
D              C       A
Feels like I'm getting old
D             C  A        D  D
But I'm still waiting for you


[Verse 5]
E                    A       B
  I know that you'll be back soon
         E           A       B
So I'll stay awake until you do
E                      A
Borrowed a book from a friend of
B    E               A    B
mine I've read it so many times


[Chorus 5]
D              C     A
Sitting in the north pole

It is really cold

But I'm still waiting for you

Feels like I'm getting old
D             C  A        D  E C#m
But I'm still waiting for you
A           E
waiting for you
