While I Was Waiting

G C G C


[Verse]
G               C             G   C
When I finally put my heart away
G                   C               G  C
Stepped out of the mess that I had made
D                           C                        G
A long time comin but it's better late than never I said
G                   C                  G    C
People say there's someone you should see
G                  C            G   C
I say why are you doing this to me
      D                           C                       G
I'm happy on the shelf, there's 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                G C
Should've seen the ones that came around
G                       C                  G   C
Like they're pickin through the lost and found
     D                          C                             G C G C
I looked 'em up and down and I wished that they would pass on by
Continues after the ad
G                       C                       G  C
Maybe it was somethin funny about the way they talk
    D                        C                      G C G C
Whatever it was, they were dead before they'd even try

         D                                     C
They stumbled through the door, 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         C        Bm
That woke me up like a siren screamin
           Am          Bm     D
Like the shock of a slammin doorrrrr


[Solo]
G D C G D C D C Em D C Em D C
G G G G


[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         C        Bm
That woke me up like a siren screamin
           Am          Bm     D
Like the shock of a slammin door


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