Chords for Ernesto Virel – Still Waiting at the Door– A Song for the Ones Who Left

[Am] I'm still _ waiting _ _ at the [Dm] door _ _ _ _
Where [G] your footsteps _ touched the [C] _ floor
_ [E] _ _ _
[F] Even pain _ _ begins to [E] fade _ _ _ _
But [F] the love, it _ always [E] stays _ _ _ _
Still [F] _ alone, _ [E] _ _
still _ [Am] afraid
_ _ [F#] _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ [F#] _ _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ My name is [Am] Ernesto, I'm 54
I used to work as a carpenter
_ [G] _ Life was hard, but I didn't mind
I [F] had a wife and a son, and I lived for them
_ They were my [E] whole world
I gave everything to my son _
[Am] Skipped meals, worked overtime
Just so he could finish [Em] college
_ When he graduated, I cried
_ I [F] thought it was the start of our new life
[Dm] But things changed, my wife [E] grew distant
My son got busy
They stopped calling
[Am] _ One day, they both left _ No goodbye
[Em] I waited, _ days turned to years
No [F] one came back
I lost the [Dm] house, I lost my purpose
[E] _
I slept on the streets, forgotten _
[Am] People looked away
_ But deep inside, I [G] held on to one thing
My voice, and the hope they'd hear it
[F] Now I'm here on this stage
[Dm] Not to win, _ [E] not for fame
_ Just to sing one song, for [Am] them
_ Maybe they'll hear me, _ maybe they'll remember
_ [Em] I never stopped loving them _
_ So this, [F] this is my song for them
[Dm] _ I _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] built our home, _ _ [Dm] with bleeding hands
_ _ [E] _ _ _
Laid each brick, [Am] with love and [E] plans
_ _ [Am] _ You were my life, _ [F] _ my reason why
_ [E] _ Now I just talk, to an [F] empty _
[E] sky
I'm [Am] still _ waiting _ at the [Dm] _ door _
_ _ Where [G] your _ laughter _ _ lives, [C] oh _ _ _
[E] _ _ Every [F] night, _ I _ whisper, [E] love _ _
_ _ Come [F] back home, don't let me [E] go _ _
_ _ _ [Am] But silence is all I know _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ You wore your cap, _ _ [Dm] I fixed your tie
_ [G#] _ [E] _ Watched you _ chase [Am] your _ dreams [E] and fly
_ _ [Am] _ I gave you wings, _ [F] _ I stayed behind
_ [E] _ But now you're gone, and so _ is time
I'm [Am] still _ waiting _ at the [Dm] _ door _
_ _ Where [G] your footsteps _ _ touch the [C] _ floor _
[E] _ _ Even [F] _ pain, _ _ begins to [E] fade _
But _ _ [F] the love, it _ always [E] _ stays _
Still _ _ [F] alone, _ _
[E] still _ _ [Am] afraid _ _
_ I don't [Dm] need much, just one more [G] _ day _
To hear [C] you call, to [E] hear you [F] _ say _
_ That I [Dm] _ remember _ _ who you [E] are _
But wishes don't [Am] go that far
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ So [Am] I sing here on this [Dm] _ stage _
_ _ Old [G] and _ tired, _ full of [C] _ ache _
_ _ Not [F] for gold, _ _ _ not [E] for fame _
_ _ Just [F] to call _ out your _ [E] name _ _
_ _ Still [F] waiting, _ _
_ [E] _ still [Am] the same
