[Em] Baby, I've been waiting, [Bm] .
I've been waiting, [D] [Em] haven't I?

[D] I waited half [Em] my life away.

There [D] were lots of invitations, I know you sent [Cm] me some.

[B] [Em] But I was waiting [D] for [C] the miracle, [D] for [G] the miracle [A] to come.
[Am] .
[Bm] [G] [Em] .
I know you really love me, [D] but you see my [Em] hands were tied.

I know it must have hurt you, [D] it must have hurt your [Em] pride.
.
To have to [D] stand beneath my window, with your bugle and your [Cm] drum.
.
[B] [G] And me, I'm up there waiting, [D] for [C] the miracle, [D] for [Cm] the miracle to come.
[Gb] .
[B] [Em] .
Yeah, I don't believe [C] you'd like it, [D] you wouldn't like it [Em] here.
.
There ain't no entertainment, [C] .
[D] and the judgments [Em] are severe.
.
[D] The maestro says it's Mozart, but it sounds [A] like bubble gum.
.
[B] [G] When [Em] you're waiting, [D] for [C] the miracle, [D] [Cm] for the miracle to come.
[B] .
[Em] .
[Am] Waiting, for the miracle, [Em] there's nothing left to do.
[B] How have I [Eb] been this [B] happy, since [Em] the end of World War II?.
Nothing left [Am] to do, when you know you've been teared.
Nothing left [D] to [Em] do, when you're begging for a crumb.
Nothing left [G] to [Em] do, and you've got [G] to go on [C] waiting.
[Ebm] Waiting, for the [Eb] miracle, [B] to come.

[Em] I dreamed about you baby, .
[D] it was just the [Em] other night.
.
Most of you was naked, [D] but some of you [Em] was laying.
.
[D] The sands of time were falling, from your fingers [Cm] and your thumb.
.
[B] And you [G] were waiting, [D] .
[Em] for the miracle, [D] for [A] the miracle to come.
.
[B] [Em] .
Yeah [E] baby, [C] let's get married.
[D] We've been alone [Em] too long.
.
Let's be alone together, [D] let's see if we're [Em] that strong.
.
[D] Yeah, let's do something crazy, something absolutely [Cm] wrong.
.
[B] [Em] While we're waiting, [D] for [C] the miracle, [D] for the [A] miracle to come.
[B] .
[Em] .
Nothing left [Am] to do, when you know you've been taken.

[G] Nothing left to [C] do, [Em] and you've [C] got to [Em] go on waiting.
[Eb] Waiting, for the miracle [B] to come.

[Bm] [Em] When you're falling on the highway, [D] and you're lying [Em] in the rain.
.
When they ask you how you're doing, [D] of course you say you [Em] can't complain.
.
[D] If you're squeezed for information, that's when you come to [Cm] play it dumb.
You [G] [Em] just stay out there waiting, [D] .
[C] for the miracle, [D] for the [Cm] miracle to come.
