While I Was Waiting

G C G C


[Verse]
G               C             G   C
When I finally put my heart away
G                   C            
Stepped out of the mess that I 
   G  C
had made
D                           C    
A long time comin but it's better
                    G
 late than never I said
G                   C       
People say there's someone you 
           G    C
should see
G                  C            
I say why are you doing this to 
G   C
me
      D                        
I'm happy on the shelf, there's 
   C                       G
nothin left to rattle my head

     D                         C
I walked into the room and I just 
knew right away
D                        C
Small talk time as the hours slipped
 away
Em         D         C
So many nights, so blue
Em             D       C
Oh, what else could I do
 C N.C.                    G
Oh, while I was waitin for you


[Verse]
G                   C            
Should've seen the ones that came
    G C
 around
G                       C        
Like they're pickin through the 
          G   C
lost and found
     D                        
I looked 'em up and down and I 
  C                             G 
wished that they would pass on by
C G C

Maybe it was somethin funny about
               G  C
 the way they talk
    D                        C
Whatever it was, they were dead 
                      G C G C
before they'd even try

         D                         
They stumbled through the door, 
            C
said they're feelin kinda shy
       D                         C
They tell me their life story, man I
 could've died
Em        D          C
So many nights, so blue
Em             D       C N.C.
Oh, what else could I do
                             G
Oh, while I was waitin' for you


[Chorus]
    Em                        D
I looked into your eyes and then I 
knew
Am       Bm      C         D
All my waitin' time was through
Em                       D
Never felt a jolt like this before
Am            Bm         
That woke me up like a siren 
C        Bm
screamin
           Am          Bm     D
Like the shock of a slammin doorrrrr


[Solo]

[Chorus]
    Em                        D
I looked into your eyes and then I 
knew
Am       Bm      C         D
All my waitin' time was through
Em                      D
Never felt a jolt like this before
Am            Bm         
That woke me up like a siren 
C        Bm
screamin
           Am          Bm     D
Like the shock of a slammin door


[Verse]
G                    C           
Who knows 'bout the road that 
     G  C
lies ahead
G                  C          
Could be good or we could all be 
     G  C
dead
    D                              
A little life's lesson, you don't 
    C                  G
go messin around with fate
     D                           
I woke up in the mornin like it's 
   C
just another day

D                             C
Could've made a wrong turn, baby 
who's to say
Em         D         C
So many night's so blue
Em              D      C
Oh, what else could I do
                            G C G C
Oh, while I was waitin for you
                         G C G C
While I was waiting for you
                         G C G C
While I was waiting for you
