[Em]
[Bb]
When I finally put my heart away Stepped out of the mess that I had made
[F] A long time coming, [Eb] but it's better late than never, [Bb] I said
People say there's someone you should see I say, why you doing this to me?
[F] I'm happy on the shelf, [Eb] there's nothing left to rattle [Bb] my head
[Eb] [Bb] I
[F] walked into the room [Eb] and I just knew right away
[F] Small talk time [Eb] as the hours ticked away [Gm] So [F] many nights [Eb] so blue
[Gm] Oh, what [F] else could [Eb] I do?
Oh, while I was waiting [Bb] for you Should have seen the ones that came around
Like they're picking through the lost and found [F] I looked them up and down
[Eb] And I wished that they would pass [Bb] on by Maybe it was something in their walk
Something funny about the way they talk [F] Whatever it was, [Eb] they were dead before they [Bb] even tried
[F] They stumbled through the door, [Eb] say they're feeling kinda shy
[F] And tell me their life [Eb] story, man, I could have died
[Gm] So [F] many nights [Eb] so blue [Gm] Oh, what [F] else could [Eb] I do?
Oh, while I was waiting [Bb] for you [Gm] I looked into your eyes [F] and then I knew
[Eb] Oh, [Bb] my [Eb] waiting time [F] was through [Gm] Never felt a jolt [F] like this before
[Cm] You woke [Bb] me up [Eb] like a [Bb] siren scream [Cm] Like the shock [Bb] of a [F] slamming door
[Bb]
[F]
[Eb] [Bb]

[F] [Eb]
[Bb]
[Gm] into your eyes [F] and then I [Cm] knew Oh, [Bb] my [Eb] waiting time [F] was through
[Gm] Never felt a jolt [F] like this before [Cm] You woke [Bb] me up [Eb] like a [Bb] siren scream
[Cm] Like the shock [Bb] of a [F] slamming door
[Bb] Who knows about the road that lies ahead Could be good or we could all be dead
[F] A little life's lesson, [Eb] you don't go missing round [Bb] the tree
[Eb] I [Bb] [F] woke up in the morning [Eb] like it was just another day
[F] Could have made a wrong [Eb] turn, baby, used to say
[Gm] So [F] many nights [Eb] so blue [Gm] Oh, what [F] else could [Eb] I do?
Oh, while I was waiting [Bb] for you While I was waiting for you
While I was waiting for you
