Biography:
Richard Noel Marx (born September 16, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is a singer-songwriter best known for his adult contemporary music. He had a string of successful hit singles in the late 80s and early 90s such as "Right Here Waiting," "Hazard," and "Hold on to the Nights." Although most of his successful songs are slow ballads like these, many of his songs have an upbeat, classic rock style, examples being "Don't Mean Nothing," "Should've Known Better," "Satisfied," and "Wait for the Sunrise".

E B C#m A
E B A A-E

It's a peaceful thing

To know that freedom as a rule belongs to me

B A E
Closer to Heaven above
E
So he took a stand
A B E
And walked where no one else would dare to even try
E
It was the only way
A B E
If not for bravery the soul would surely die
C#m F#m B
And right before my eyes he gave his life unselfishly

Like you and me, yeah

We've got to put an end to this game of

I'm here waiting
