G Cadd9
The wind hit my back, cold as I remember
Em7 D
And caught me off guard, in the middle of December
G Cadd9
Sometimes a crowded room, can feel the most alone
Em7 D
Sometimes I wonder why, I wont pick up the phone when
Chorus
Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 Em7
This wall is glaring and it's too high for me to climb
Cadd9 G Cadd9 Em7
I've ran and ran and now there's nothing left behind
Cadd9 G Cadd9 Em7
I see a picture of a broken man inside
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G (strum continuously until next verse)
I've tried and tried and now there's nothing left but time
Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 <-- single strum these (if you prefer)
And I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you alone
Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9
And I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you alone
Em7 Cadd9
Together we fly tonight
G Cadd9 G
And I leave all of the rest behind
Intro x1
I'll wait for ... you
G Cadd9
These hands can feel like there not even mine
Em7 D
A tree and a nail and a cry in the night
G Cadd9
Sometimes a little step is the greatest divide
Em7 D
Sometimes I feel your breath right at my side when
Chorus
Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9 Em7
This wall is glaring and it's too high for me to climb
Cadd9 G Cadd9 Em7
I've ran and ran and now there's nothing left behind
Cadd9 G Cadd9 Em7
I see a picture of a broken man inside
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
I've tried and tried and now there's nothing left but time
Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9
And I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you alone
Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9
And I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you alone
Em7 Cadd9
Together we fly tonight
Em7 Cadd9 G
And I leave all of the rest behind... I'll wait for
Em7 Cadd9
Here I am at the edge of the road
G Cadd9
One hand on the end of the rope
Em7 Cadd9
One crack and it breaks alone
G Cadd9
Wondering who's gonna take me home
Em7 Cadd9
On my knees when you call my bluff
G Cadd9
Begging please from the edge of the ruff
Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9
And I know when I've had enough, and I know it, and I know it
Em7 Cadd9 G D
I see a picture of a broken man inside
Em7 Cadd9 G D
I've tried and tried and now there's nothing left but time
Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9
And I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you alone
Em7 Cadd9 G Cadd9
And I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you alone
Em7 Cadd9
Wait here stay here say you're the only
Em7 Cadd9
One I need I know and I'm holding
Em7 Cadd9
Together we will fly tonight
G Cadd9 G
And leave all of the rest behind
Intro (repeat as many times as you want and fade)
I'll wait for... you
End on G when done!
