What Are You Waiting For?
Shawn McDonald
[Intro]
Am Em D
Am Em D
[Verse 1]
Am Em
You have always been a runaway
D
Always looking for a place that’s safe
Am
‘Cause you were disappointed with the world
Em D
The hand that you were dealt
Am Em
And I get it why you feel that way
D
‘Cause it doesn’t ever seem to change
Am
But have you ever really tried to trust
Em D
Something outside yourself?
[Chorus]
C G D
So what are you waiting for?
Em C G D
You’re standing at an open door
C G
This is your life, you never live twice
D Em
Step through to the other side
C G D
'Cause there's so much more
C G D
So what are you waiting, what are you waiting for?
[Verse 2]
Am Em
You don’t have to be afraid
D
To believe in something unexplained
Am
‘Cause this is where the road begins
Em D
And where the healing starts
Am Em
So open up your eyes my friend
D
‘Cause this is where the searching ends
Am
And you don’t have to keep
Em D
The wounds and walls around your heart
[Chorus]
C G D
So what are you waiting for?
Em C G D
You’re standing at an open door
C G
This is your life, you never live twice
D Em
Step through to the other side
C G D
'Cause there's so much more
[Bridge]
C G
Go ahead and say goodbye
D Em
Go ahead and start tonight
C G
Come over, come over
D
To the other side
C G
Just go ahead and say goodbye
D Em
Go ahead and start tonight
C G
Come over, come over
D
To the other side

You’re standing at an open door

This is your life, you never live twice
D Em

C G D
'Cause there's so much more
[Bridge]
C G
So go ahead and say goodbye
D Em
Go ahead and start tonight
C G
Come over, come over
D
To the other side
C G
You can go ahead and say goodbye
D Em
Go ahead and start tonight
C G
Come over, come over
D
To the other side
