I am so [C] accommodating, [G] always waiting, [Em] waiting, [Am] waiting
[G] Trying [C] to look very [G] wise
Should I [F] hurry, [C] hurry, hurry, or [G] just worry, worry, [Am] worry?
[F] And stay behind while others [G] catch the prize, [F] catch the [C] fly
[G]
[F] [C] [G]
[Em] Now I'm [F] sleepless in a cheap [C] dress, feeling [G] kinda [Em] small

Where my [F] long path [C] ends in a [D] brick wall

[Em] To roll [F] with the punches [G] like a beach ball
[F] I remove [C] my armor plating, [G] cause I'm getting [Am] tired of waiting
[F] And my [C] sword can't beat [G] all the sights
[F] Oh, the sun is [C] rising higher [G] like a golden [Am] ball of fire
