[Intro 1]
[Em][Em][Em][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Baby, I've been [C]waiting[D]
I've been waiting night and [Em]day
[Em]I didn't see the tim[C]e[D]
I waited half [Em]my life away
There were [D]lots of invitations
And I know you sent me [D#dim7]some[B]
But I was [Em]waiting[D]
For the [C]miracle, [D]for the mir[D#dim7]acle to come
[B][Em]

[Verse 2]
I [Em]know you really [C]loved [D]me
But, you see, my [Em]hands were tied
And I know it must have [C]hurt [D]you
It must have hurt your [Em]pride
To have to [D]stand beneath my window
With your bugle and your [D#dim7]drum[B]
And me I'm there up [Em]waiting[D]
For the [C]miracle, [D]for the mir[D#dim7]acle to come
[B][Em]

[Verse 3]
Ah I [Em]don't believe you'd [C]like [D]it
You wouldn't like it [Em]here
There ain't no enter[C]tainment[D]
And the judgments are [Em]severe
The Ma[D]estro says it's Mozart
But it sounds like [D#dim7]bubble gum[B]
When you're [Em]waiting[D]
For the [C]miracle, [D]for the mir[D#dim7]acle to come
[B][Em]

[Bridge 1]
[Am]Waiting for the miracle
There's [Em]nothing left to do
[B]I haven't been this happy
Since the [Em]end of World War II
Nothing left to [Am]do
When you know that you've been taken
Nothing left to [Em]do
When you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to [C]do
When you've got to go on waiting
[D#dim7]Waiting for the miracle to come

[Verse 4]
I [Em]dreamed about you, [C]baby[D]
It was just the other [Em]night
Most of you was [C]naked[D]
Ah but some of you was [Em]light
The [D]sands of time were falling
From your fingers and your [D#dim7]thumb[B]
And you were [Em]waiting[D]
For the [C]miracle, [D]for the mir[D#dim7]acle to come
[B][Em]

[Verse 5]
Ah [Em]baby, let's get [C]married[D]
We've been alone too [Em]long
Let's be alone to[C]gether[D]
Let's see if we're that [Em]strong
Yeah [D]let's do something crazy
Something absolutely [D#dim7]wrong[B]
While we're [Em]waiting[D]
For the [C]miracle, [D]for the mir[D#dim7]acle to come
[B][Em]

[Bridge 2]
Nothing left to [Am]do
When you know that you've been taken
Nothing left to [Em]do
When you're begging for a crumb
Nothing left to [C]do
When you've got to go on waiting
[D#dim7]Waiting for the miracle to come

[Verse 6]
When you've [Em]fallen on the [C]highway[D]
And you're lying in the [Em]rain
And they ask you how you're [C]doing[D]
Of course you'll say you can't [Em]complain
If you're [D]squeezed for information
That's when you've got to play it [D#dim7]dumb[B]
You just say you're out there [Em]waiting[D]
For the [C]miracle, [D]for the mir[D#dim7]acle to come
[B][Em]

[Outro 1]
