[E] [Em]
Baby, I've been waiting [Bm] I've been [D] waiting night and [Em] day
I didn't see the time [D] I waited [Em] half my life away
There [D] were lots of invitations I know you [Cm] sent me some
[B] [Em] But I was waiting [D] [C] for the miracle [D] For the [A] miracle to come
[Am] [B] [G]
[Em]
I know you really love [D] me But you see [Em] my hands were tied
I know it must have hurt you [D] It must have [Em] hurt your pride
You [D] have to stand beneath my window With your bugle and [Cm] your drum
[B] [G] And me, I'm up there waiting [D] For [C] the miracle
[D]
[Cm] For the miracle to come
[F#] [B]
[Em]
I don't believe you'd like [D] it You wouldn't [Em] like it here
There ain't no entertainment [D] And the judgments [Em] are severe
The
[D] maestro says it's Mozart But it sounds [A] like bubblegum
[G]
[Em] I know you're waiting [D] [C] For the miracle
[D] For [A] the miracle to come
[B]
[Em]
[Am] Waiting for the miracle [Em] There's nothing left to do
I
[B] haven't been this happy [Em] Since the end of World War II
Nothing [Am] left to do When you know that you've been taken
Nothing [D] left to [Em] do When you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do When you've [G] got to go on [C] waiting
Waiting [D#m] [A] for the miracle [B] to come
I
[Em] dreamed about you baby [D] It was just the [Em] other night
Most of you was naked [D] But some of you [Em] was late
[D] The sands of time were falling From your fingers [Cm] and your thumb
And [B] you [G] were waiting [D] For [Em] the miracle
[D] For [A] the miracle to come
[B]
[Em]
Yeah baby, 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
Yeah, [D] let's do something crazy Something absolutely [Cm] wrong
[B] [G] While [Em] we're waiting [D] For [C] the miracle
[D] For [A] the miracle to come
[B] Nothing
[Em] left [Am] to do When you know you've been taken
Nothing left [D] to [Em] do When you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to do When you've got to go on waiting
[D#] Waiting for [F#] the miracle [B] to come
When [Em] you're falling on the highway [D] And you're lying in [Em] the rain
When they ask you how you're doing [D] Of course you say you can't [Em] complain
If you're [D] squeezed for information That's when you come to play [Cm] it dumb
[G] [B] You just sail around [Em] there waiting [D] For the [C] miracle
[D] For the miracle [A] to come
